What world is this man living in?
Pointing to June jobs numbers and falling gas prices, President Joe Biden said that his economic “program is working,” Yahoo News reports.
“Today the Labor Department reported that we’ve added 372,000 jobs last month, 372,000. Here’s why it’s important: Our private sector has now recovered all of the jobs lost during the pandemic and added jobs on top of that,” Biden said at a White House event where he signed an executive order directing the Department of Health and Human Services to expand access to abortion pills and contraception in the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. “We have more Americans working today in the private sector than any day under my predecessor, more today than anytime in American history, today.”
“Now, look, I know times are tough. Prices are too high. Families are facing a cost-of-living crunch, but today’s economic news confirms the fact that my economic plan is moving this country in a better direction,” he said. “The unemployment rate is near a historic low of 3.6%. Private sector jobs are at a record high. Gas prices, still way too high, have fallen now 25 days in a row, and this week we saw the second-largest single-day decrease in gas prices in a decade. We still have a lot of work to do. I’m not suggesting there’s [not] a lot of work to do, but I am suggesting we’re making significant progress. The program is working.”
