Trump's inheritance by the numbers

Although he won't inherit an economy in crisis, as did his predecessor, President-elect Donald Trump will confront a broad range of challenges when he takes the oath of office on Friday.

From problems at the Department of Veterans Affairs to the Obama administration's stonewalling of open records requests, Trump has a number of hurdles to clear in his effort to fulfill his campaign promises.

Here are some of the numbers that will matter to the incoming Trump administration.

Trump's jobs numbers


6,082,000 Number of people who said they wanted a job in 2015 but had stopped looking for work

62.775 Average labor force participation rate in 2016

44,219,041 Number of people relying on food stamps in 2016
