Fact Check: Biden Claims More People Working Today Than Before The Pandemic
Breitbart ^ | 10/27/2021 | John Carney

CLAIM: “Not only that, more people are working today than just before the pandemic started,” President Joe Biden said at campaign event with Terry Mcauliffe in Virginia last.

VERDICT: False.

This one is not even close. Many people lost their jobs when the pandemic struck and still have not found work. No matter how you count it, there are fewer people working than just before the pandemic.

In February 2020, just before the pandemic took hold and lockdowns were issued, there were 158,732,000 people employed in America, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’s broadest measure of employment. In September, there were 153,680,000 people employed. That’s a decline of just over five million.

It barely matters. Dimwit Joe lies and the media swears to it. The public is none the wiser.

I’m not sure how that could be true.

There are signs everywhere, businesses looking for help.

I’ll cut him some slack. He’s got a brain freeze going on from his ice cream break while Kamala’s changing his diaper.

First, the unemployment is higher (it was 3.5 percent before)

Second, labor force participation is lower

But, what the heck, he lies about medical research, so why wouldn’t he lie about economics?

Hey, if you’re trick or treating with the kids this weekend, howzabout you going as Fauci and the kids going as beagle puppies?

Biden has learned over the years that there no consequences when he makes stuff up.

BIden “sure gas prices are rising, but that doesn’t mean that it’s more expensive, it just means things are getting better”

“Fact Check: Biden Claims More People Working Today Than Before The Pandemic”

CNN Factcheck: “Somewhat True: President Biden did not refer to any political or social entity when making this claim. While many may think it applies to the country as a whole, he may actually mean it only in regards to a state, county, city, or even a family. Therefore, we cannot rate this claim as false without verification he was referring to the country as a whole.”

He’s right. Only they are workin hard to find enough products to buy before the prices double or the shelves are empty. I believe their plan is to destroy the US Capitalistic system and then Build Back Better .... with Socialism.
