Talk:Jobs created during U.S. presidential terms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why are we defining 'jobs' to mean only nonfarm payrolls instead of total employment (i.e., all jobs)? Tim Shell

Something isn't right here. I think the jobs data has some unit problems. Example: FDR's "start jobs" number is 34,480 and the footnote to this column says "in millions." This seems unlikely. Perhaps the start and end jobs columns are measured in thousands? alodyne

The Department of Labor website has stats going back to 1939. Where were the job stats prior to 1939 cited from.
