Jeez that 'since 2003' wpuld include the great recession.   Thats spectacularly bad.

The headline sentence appears to just be wrong. He's actually excepting years in actual recession (2008,2009,2020). Sort of saying "the worst year except for the ones that were even worser."  Worst non-recession year since 2003 is still saying a lot though. Another example of how GDP, which is what defines recessions, is not really coupled to the economic outcome for most workers anymore.

I see what you're saying thanks for pointing that out.

Essentially the worst since the last time Republicans were in office.
