I found a chart that zooms in more towards recent years

2019-02-27 22:40:30 UTC

2019-02-27 22:41:18 UTC  

i like how it started going down under bush

2019-02-27 22:41:42 UTC  

Wait a minute

2019-02-27 22:41:59 UTC  

The two charts have different Y axis

2019-02-27 22:42:16 UTC  

Oh

2019-02-27 22:43:19 UTC  

The first one depicts the participation rate from citizens aged 25 to 54

2019-02-27 22:43:27 UTC  

The second one depicts overall labor force

2019-02-27 22:43:47 UTC  

So the second one is more reliable

2019-02-27 22:45:12 UTC  

RIP Obama

2019-02-27 22:45:33 UTC  

Hasn't picked up much since early 16

2019-02-27 22:49:17 UTC  

It started increasing in the last year of Obama's term

2019-02-27 22:49:22 UTC  

Hasn't changed much since then

2019-02-27 22:49:45 UTC  

So you can't give Trump credit for increasing the labor participation rate

2019-02-27 22:50:04 UTC  

Which President do you think was the best?

2019-02-27 22:50:19 UTC  

bill clinton

2019-02-27 22:50:20 UTC  

Trump's term only started 2 years ago

2019-02-27 22:50:25 UTC  

Apart from Trump

2019-02-27 22:50:32 UTC  

Oh

2019-02-27 22:50:35 UTC  

You mean overall

2019-02-27 22:50:37 UTC  

Yeah

2019-02-27 22:50:51 UTC  

Abraham Lincoln

2019-02-27 22:50:56 UTC  

I would say

2019-02-27 22:51:03 UTC  

A Republican interesting..

2019-02-27 22:51:18 UTC  

The party switch happened

2019-02-27 22:51:25 UTC  

I dont think it did but different views

2019-02-27 22:51:37 UTC  

When do you think it switched?

2019-02-27 22:51:44 UTC  

I mean, the party switch was common knowledge until recently

2019-02-27 22:51:55 UTC  

The economic switch happened during FDR's term

2019-02-27 22:52:11 UTC  

The Social switch happened during the civil rights movement

2019-02-27 22:52:12 UTC  

A lot of Democratic senators still voted against black rights in the 60s

2019-02-27 22:52:20 UTC  

And most Republicans were for it

2019-02-27 22:52:35 UTC  

The civil rights movement was largely a geographical issue rather than a partisan one

2019-02-27 22:53:06 UTC  

honestly idk who the best president would be

2019-02-27 22:53:20 UTC  

i wouldnt say trump tho

2019-02-27 22:53:34 UTC  

atleast not yet

2019-02-27 22:54:18 UTC  

The talks with North Korea will go down in history

2019-02-27 22:54:46 UTC  

the fact that he managed to get the remains and stuff back is amazing

2019-02-27 22:55:03 UTC  

He did well on that

2019-02-27 22:55:08 UTC  

Even Bernie praised him

2019-02-27 22:55:14 UTC  

honestly kim jong un and trump would have great kids
