The Breitbart News reported on May 7 that the White House was preparing to celebrate 2 million jobs gained in its 100 days in office on Friday under Joe Biden, but the devastating April jobs report put a damper on the celebration.
Bloomberg News reported Friday morning that “senior White House staffers are eagerly watching the upcoming April jobs report, due out at 8.30 a.m. that day, because once the April report shows an estimate of 700,000 jobs, there should be 2 million new jobs in Biden’s 100 days in office, and Joe Biden can claim to be the first in history to president to create 2 million new jobs in just 100 days in office. “
Breitbart News reports that the White House has scheduled an 11:30 a.m. event for Biden to speak before he heads to Delaware for the weekend, presumably to celebrate the huge milestone. Biden and Harris are also scheduled to hold an economic briefing and a meeting with the jobs office on Friday afternoon. Press Secretary Psaki also scheduled a press conference with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, presumably to tout the great economic news as well.
Joe Biden himself touted his record on job creation at the Louisiana event on Thursday, saying, “I’m proud that in my first 100 days as president, more jobs have been created than any administration in history.”
But the April jobs report, which came out Friday, disastrously showed that the unemployment rate rose to 6.1 percent and only 266,000 jobs were created in April, well below expectations, while manufacturing jobs fell by 18,000 and job growth in March was revised downward.
CNBC reported that April’s jobs report was the biggest deviation from expectations in 23 years.” We’re told this is the biggest deviation since ’98.” CNBC was shocked by Biden’s economy.
The current state of affairs is that unemployment is up and hiring is stagnant; Joe Biden has not only failed to meet his goal of creating 2 million jobs in the first 100 days, but he is squandering the economic recovery he inherited.
White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, after forwarding an analysis from the Talking Points Memo on Friday, said the jobs report only supports the claim that there is too much spending in the Communist Party’s viral relief bill.
Joe Biden reacted provocatively to Friday’s release of the grim jobs and unemployment reports, going so far as to laugh as he dismissed the media comments.
In his speech, Joe Biden confidently argued that April’s jobs numbers “show we’re on the right track” and that “frankly, we’re moving faster than I thought we would,” “but clearly there’s a long way to go,” contending that the recovery will be a “marathon” rather than a “sprint.
