New Jersey Companies Performed Significantly Better on the Audited Annual Pretax Earnings Growth Front During the Obama Administration's Eight Years in Office (2009-2016) ..... Up 7.7% Per Year ..... Than They Did During the Trump Administration's First Three Full Years in Office (2017-2019) ..... Up 2.5% Per Year

From a review of SEC filings and Google Finance, there were 51 New Jersey Companies with stock market caps of above $1 bil recently and which reported Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations in their annual financial statement earnings information filed with the SEC for each of the most recent twelve years (Years from 2008-2019).  I included Companies which were headquartered in New Jersey for a significant portion of these 12 years.   

The table below shows the Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for each of these 51 New Jersey Companies for fiscal year end 2019, the last year of the Trump Administration's first three full years in office so far,  for fiscal year end 2016, the year before the start of the Trump Administration as well as also the last year of the Obama Administration, and for fiscal year end 2008, the year before the start of the Obama Administration.
