00:00She's a blatant liar, and here's more proof.
00:03Kamala said this.
00:04Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.
00:09If we look at the U.S. unemployment rate chart,
00:11we can see that when Trump took office in 2017,
00:14the unemployment rate was at 4.7%.
00:17Over the next three years,
00:19Trump managed to reduce it to an impressive 3.5%,
00:22the lowest level in the past 60 years.
00:25For context, the unemployment rate during the Great Depression was 25%,
00:29in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit,
00:34causing global economic disruptions.
00:36Many U.S. companies began laying off workers,
00:39which drove the unemployment rate up to 14.8% by April 2020.
00:43Despite this, in less than nine months,
00:46Trump was able to reduce the unemployment rate to 6.4% by the end of his presidency.
00:51He left office with the rate at 6.4%, not 25%, as Kamala stated,
00:56largely due to the COVID lockdown.
