U.S. Presidents from Which Party Create More Jobs - Democratic or Republican?

Which party -- Democratic or Repbublican -- while occupying the White House -- creates the most jobs, on a per year basis?

The answer may surprise you.

The Republican Party claims that it is the party of pro-business, pro-growth, and job creating policies, but the statistics do not support that contention, according to job data compiled by the U.S. Labor Department.

In the modern era, since 1933, over 43 years the Democratic total is about 73.4 million jobs for an average of 1.7 million jobs per year.

Meanwhile, over 36 years Republican presidents created about 34.8 million jobs for an average of 967,000 jobs per year.
