December Jobs Report: “The fewest number of jobs added” in 2021

Joe Biden ended the first calendar year of his presidency by setting a new 2021 record, but it’s nothing to go home and brag about. The U.S. economy added 199,000 jobs in December – “the fewest number of jobs added in any month of 2021,” according to CNN.

What was Joe Biden’s response to the news? To take a victory lap on his failed economic record.

Whitney Robertson, America Rising PAC Press Secretary: “If 2021 proved anything, it’s that Joe Biden’s administration has fostered a poor economy for working families. Biden doubling down on his failed agenda is a slap in the face to Americans already suffering under his self-made economic crisis.”
