Original Note:
The tweet claims that the jobs are new which is misleading, as most were pre-existing. As lockdown eased and demand returned, those pre-existing roles quickly filled. In addition to pre-lockdown jobs, 3.198 million new jobs have been added at the historically average rate. https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2021/article/covid-19-ends-longest-employment-expansion-in-ces-history.htm https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PAYEMS
