Biden: ‘Listening to Commentators …You Might Think We Should Be Disappointed’ with Jobs Report

‘I want to put today’s jobs report in perspective’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “Listening to commentators today as I was getting dressed, you might think that we should be disappointed. But when we passed the American Rescue Plan, I want to remind everybody, it was designed to help us over the course of a year, not 60 days, a year. We never thought that after the first 50 or 60 days everything would be fine. Today there is more evidence our economy is moving in the right direction, but it is clear we have a long way to go. All told, our economy has added more than 1,500,000 new jobs since I took office. That's the most jobs created in the first three months of any presidency in our history.”
