Many, many decisions are reached because of purely emotional issues. Sure, it feels good if you think you can validate your petty prejudices, but if those rash decisions might have a profound effect on the lives of you and your children perhaps you should just go with the hard facts.

While the article below specifically references Georgia, the same points could be made about numerous other states that have benefited greatly from Joe's innovative policies.

The economy has always been a powerful undercurrent in political tides, and for Georgia, the waters are indicating a significant shift. The comparison between job growth under President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, paints a telling picture of two administrations with sharply contrasting economic impacts on the Peach State.

Georgia, home to over 11 million Americans, is experiencing a surge in manufacturing jobs that has not been observed since data collection began in 1990. Under President Biden, the state’s manufacturing employment has soared by an impressive 11.9% since 2021. This robust growth starkly contrasts the trajectory during Trump’s term, where Georgia’s manufacturing sector saw a decline faster than the national average—a consistent trend for all presidencies in the new century until Biden’s.

Indeed, the broader narrative of Georgia’s labor market under Biden is significantly more positive than under Trump. This observation is not confined to Georgia alone. On a national scale, under President Biden, U.S. employment is now 10% above its level at the beginning of his term, surpassing the job gains of any recent predecessors at the three-year mark—including Trump, who saw a 4.4% increase in his first three years, barring the pandemic’s impact.

While the swift recovery and subsequent job market expansion can be partly attributed to the pandemic’s waning impact, the American Rescue Plan and other legislative acts have played critical roles in fostering this growth. Under Biden’s stewardship, the introduction of initiatives such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the CHIPS and Science Act have directly contributed to the blossoming of manufacturing and infrastructure jobs.

Inflation, a pivotal issue, has been a double-edged sword in the Biden-versus-Trump comparison. After peaking above 9% in summer 2022, inflation has seen a significant drop, with recent statistics showing a rise of just 3.1% year over year as of January 2024. Trump’s tenure saw wages outpacing inflation—a reversal of the current scenario. Nevertheless, wage growth has begun trending ahead of inflation about a year ago under Biden.

Moreover, the labor market growth under Biden has been inclusive, with wage increases particularly strong for lower-income workers, indicating a push towards addressing income inequality. On the flip side, gasoline prices remain about one-third higher than at the onset of Biden’s term, although they have receded from their peak. The tapestry of economic performance is complex, and while the current administration’s policies have undeniably spurred job growth and economic resilience, especially in states like Georgia, the full spectrum of factors at play in these metrics extends beyond the Oval Office.
