New York (CNN Business) President Donald Trump says he is particularly pleased with the jobs created during his three years in office. But you don't have to go back far to find three years of better job growth. During Trump's first 35 months in office, the US economy has gained 6.69 million jobs. But during a comparable 35-month period at the end of Obama's tenure, employers added 7.96 million jobs, or 19%, more than what has been added since Trump took office. During the last 35 months under Obama, employers were adding an average of 227,000 jobs a month.
