Watch Live: Biden to speak on the economy after disappointing jobs report

Washington — President Biden is expected to deliver an address Monday focusing on the U.S. economy after a jobs report reflecting hiring around the country in April fell far short of expectations.

Mr. Biden and top administration officials have acknowledged the nation's economic recovery from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic will be a long haul and have said the April jobs report from the Department of Labor underscores the need for Congress to pass the president's twin $4 trillion jobs and families plans.
