PolitiFact on Clinton's DNC speech: "Since 1961 … our private economy produced 66 million private-sector jobs. So what's the jobs score? Republicans 24 million, Democrats 42 million."
Our ruling: .
Clinton’s figures check out, and they also mirror the broader results we came up with two years ago. Partisans are free to interpret these findings as they wish, but on the numbers, Clinton’s right. We rate his claim True.
While those numbers indicate the results of Democratic public policy is basically twice as good as Republican party public policy going back 50 years, since Reagan's trickle down economics became the GOP standard in 1981, the figures are even more strikingly in favor of the Democrats.
