Understanding the chart

Job creation by President from Ronald Reagan (1981) onward. The horizontal axis shows the months following inauguration, while the vertical axis shows cumulative job creation as a %. The number of jobs in a given period is divided by the number of jobs in the first month following inauguration (February) of their first term (Jobs in month N / Jobs in Feb of first term) - 1.

The New York Times published a similar diagram in January 2016. [1] The source data is the FRED "Payems" data series. [2]

Calculated risk, a financial and economics blog, does a nice chart like this one as well. [3]

Fortune did a chart like this in October 2020, using January as starting and ending months. [4]

CNN did an interactive chart of this and other variables in October 2020. [5]
