Biden Brags About Unemployment Numbers And Takes Off His Gloves To Defend His Administration.

For a president who has long prided himself on reducing the temperature in political debate, the words revealed a new combative and harsh tone.

President Joe Biden celebrated his first year in office with a victory lap on Friday, boasting low unemployment and record job growth despite polling showing the American people is dissatisfied with Biden's handling of the economy.

"People quitting their employment have received a lot of press attention. The reason for this, according to today's data, is that Americans are moving up to better positions "After the release of the final monthly jobs report for 2021, Biden stated from the White House."For the American people, this is the kind of recovery I promised and hoped for."

"Today, America is the only major country in the world where the economy as a whole is stronger than before the outbreak," the president said, citing a surging stock market and increased average incomes.

Biden's remarks – in which he also chastised congressional Republicans for "talking down the recovery" by voting against policies credited by Biden with lowering unemployment and raising wages – reflect a more aggressive and blunt tone for a president who has long prided himself on keeping political debates civil.
