CNN
President Joe Biden on Friday touted the country's economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic after the US added 943,000 jobs in July and the unemployment rate fell to 5.4%.
"Now while our economy is far from complete, and while we undoubtedly will have ups and downs along the way as we continue to battle the Delta surge of Covid, what is indisputable now is this: The Biden plan is working. The Biden plan produces results, and the Biden plan is moving the country forward," Biden said, speaking from the White House. The July jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday showed the biggest job gain since August of last year, when more than 1 million positions were added back. It was more than the 870,000 jobs economists had expected.More Related News
