I remember them to be bad economic times, but don't hold Carter responsible for all that...he wasn't in office long enough to effect significant economic changes, and had to inherit what he got.   The oil embargo & interest rates were having knock on effects to the economy.    He made peace between the Egyptians and Isrealis, pushed domestic energy independence policies, and had to contend with the spill over of the Iranian Revolution into US politics.   It was a bad time to be President, and I guess I give him extra points for being a peace-nik.
