BLS.gov Table B1 is a listing of jobs by industry sector. There are over 200 categories, but you can reduce it to thirty or so basic categories. You can also retrieve a monthly history for each.
I did this and compared the high point of Trump’s term with the high point of Biden’s term. Of the thirty categories, Trump did better in six; Biden in 24.
Biden did better in:
Goods Production.
Construction
Manufacturing
Durable Goods (Computer and Electronics.)
Durable Goods (Motor Vehicles and Parts.)
Durable Goods (Miscellaneous)
Private Services Providing.
Wholesale Trade.
Gas Station and Fuel Dealers.
Transportation and Warehouses.
Utilities.
Information.
Financial Activities.
Commercial Banking.
Real Estate.
Professional and Business Services.
Leisure and Hospitality.
Accounting, Tax Preparation, Bookkeeping and Payroll.
Private Education and Health.
Health Care.
Hospitals
Social Assistance.
Government (overall.)
State Government.
Trump did better in:
Postal. (How ironic is that.)
Federal Government.
Mining.
Retail Trade.
Retail Health
Nursing and Residential Care
The sectors Biden excels at employ vastly more people for higher salaries than the few Trump is better at.
