Original Note:
It is misleading to count people returning back to work, after the pandemic, as new jobs. Employment: Feb 2020 - 158,749,000 (pre-Covid) Jun 2023 - 160,994,000 (+2,145,000) https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS12000000 https://budget.house.gov/press-release/fact-check-biden-misleads-on-job-creation-statistics Inflation is half from its (2022) peak, but is nearly 3x the rate when Biden took office. •https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/ •https://beta.bls.gov/dataViewer/view/timeseries/CUUR0000SA0.
