"The economy was in a recession when Carter came to Washington. Immediately upon taking office, he declared that his primary domestic goal was to create jobs for the unemployed. At his request, Congress passed an Economic Stimulus Appropriations Act to create jobs and help the economy."

"Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)

His presidency had by far the highest GDP growth, more than 1% higher than President Joe Biden thus far. But he also had the highest inflation rate and the third-highest unemployment rate."
