About three weeks ago, the president stated that the U.S. has “recovered all the jobs lost during the pandemic.” This was also the claim in September 2022.
The question remains, if we actually recovered jobs, created jobs, jobs lost, individuals who are not looking, retired, remain unemployed or just went back to the job the pandemic took.
The labor statistics actually, for how in depth they are, seem to lack all those findings. If the current president has a 13 million total, the one before you “recovered” five million but allegedly actually lost over 20 million. Common core math for the win. Until next September.
Still here.
