Fact Check: Harris misleadingly claims Biden added 800,000 manufacturing jobs
Breitbart.com ^ | 8/29/2024 | John Carney

Claim: Vice President Kamala Harris said that she and President Biden have created 800,000 manufacturing jobs.

“We created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs. I’ll say that that’s good work,” Harris said in her interview with CNN on Thursday.

Verdict: Harris’s statement is misleading. U.S. manufacturers increased their payrolls by around 742,000 workers between January 2021 when Biden took office and October 2022 but most of those were not “new” manufacturing jobs as Harris claimed. They were factories re-filling jobs that had been created under President Trump.

What’s more, only 20,000 jobs have been added since October 2022, indicating a year and a half of stagnant manufacturing job growth. If anyone was seeing a manufacturing job boom early on in the Biden administration, that has long since fizzled out.

A better comparison is between ...employment just prior to the pandemic...This shows that only 170,000 new manufacturing jobs have been added under Biden-Harris, an average monthly gain of just around 4,000...

All that matters is if CNN and MSNBC repeated her lies.

Their idiot viewers will believe it until doomsday.

It looks like the liberal Fart Checkers have run for the hills. They don’t want to have to embarrass their coconut queen.

“Mislead”. False. LIED is the word you’re looking for.

The 800k the BLS says were overstated were All sector jobs for one year.
This is talking about manufacturing jobs since 2021.

Kamala reminds me of the teenager that was raised by parents that wanted to be their kid’s friend. No responsibility for anything. The I’ll do it tomorrow mentality.
