Job growth under Bush worst since WWII:

[amborin]

Over the last eight years, job growth grew the least under President George W. Bush. That's the lowest job growth since World War II. from 2001 through 2009, job gains grew only .28%.

Lyndon Johnson's America did the best--3.74% job growth. In second place was Jimmy Carter, which was surprising, since few historians have rated his administration as a success. But under his watch, the number of jobs grew 3.11%. Bill Clinton came in third place, with 2.42% (despite a largely republican majority house).

Here's the entire list:

Lyndon Johnson (1963-69), 3.74%
Jimmy Carter (1977-81), 3.11%
Bill Clinton (1993-2001), 2.42%
Harry Truman (1945-53), 2.38%
Richard Nixon (1969-74), 2.30%
John Kennedy (1961-63), 2.28%
Ronald Reagan (1981-89), 2.04%
Gerald Ford (1974-77), 0.95%
Dwight Eisenhower (1953-61), 0.87%
George H. W. Bush (1989-93), 0.59%
George W. Bush (2001-09), 0.28%
