'This is historic progress — progress that's pulling our economy out of the worst crisis it's been in in 100 years,' President Biden says about the latest jobs report. 'It's testament to the new strategy that is growing this economy...'
President Joe Biden on Friday touted the economic progress the US has made in its recovery from the coronavirus pandemic after the government reported 559,000 jobs were added in May.
"No other major economy in the world is growing as fast as ours. No other major economy is gaining jobs as quickly as ours. And none of this success is an accident. It isn't luck," Biden said, speaking from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The President continued:"It's due in no small part, first of all, to the cooperation of the American people in responding to my effort to get Covid under control -- wearing masks initially and getting vaccinated.
