Speaking from the Rehoboth Convention Center Friday morning, President Joe Biden attempted to spin disappointing May jobs numbers, which came in well below expectations.
"This is a report based on a weekly, week in early May, that's how we determine job growth or loss. We have growth. And that week in May, we only had 35 percent of working age adults fully vaccinated. They were still all wearing masked. Since then 21 million more adults have gotten vaccinated making it easier to return to work safely. In short, it's progress," Biden said. "This is historic progress, progress that's pulling our economy out of the worst crisis it's been in in 100 years. It's testament to the new strategy, growing this economy. Not only growing it, but growing from the bottom up and middle out. Remember, when I took office in January, the economy was in a tailspin and COVID was raging."
White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is doing the same.
When Biden took office on January 20, 2021, COVID was not "raging." In fact, cases were declining thanks to President Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed, which developed three vaccines in record time. Further, the economy was already on the way recovery.
The latest jobs numbers come after the jobs report from April showed big government policies are keeping people from reentering the work force. As Reagan reported, Republicans are slamming the numbers.
