In April 2021, yes, Biden had added 266,000 jobs -- and it was lower than what many economists had predicted.

Today, Trump did indeed add 172,000 jobs, but it was actually somewhat better than economists had predicted.

Whatever one might say about the NY Times, I don''t really think they can be accused of putting a thumb on the scales for Trump when you take their reporting and editorializing as a whole.
