"The unemployment rate
ticked down to 4.7% from
4.8% in the previous month.
It's a vast improvement
from 2009, when
unemployment peaked
at 10% after the financial
crisis."

• The 10% spike was caused by the
  Republican economic policies under
  President G.W. Bush.
   
• The 4.8% level was the result of
  the record period of positive
  jobs growth that occurred
  between 2009 and when
  President Obama left office.
   
• The 4.7% was most likely a
  carryover of Obama policies
  than a result of anything
  Trump had done so far.
