Here is another analysis on job creation, that looks at not just number of jobs but also the percentage increase.
And again, Bill Clinton comes first (no pun intended)!
A president's record at job creation depends somewhat on the business cycle. For example, those who inherited a recession, like Clinton, Obama, Reagan, Carter and LBJ, did better at job creation. They started with a low base, and so had nowhere to go but up. Those that created recessions, like both Bushes, Nixon, and Eisenhower, did the worst.
