Original Note:
According to fact checkers following the State of the Union, Biden’s figure of 15M “jobs created” needs context due to post pandemic recovery. Total US jobs are now 3.5% higher than the pre-pandemic peak in 2/2020, not 10% higher as claimed by Biden. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/03/08/us/sotu-fact-check?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare https://www.politifact.com/article/2024/mar/08/biden-2024-state-of-the-union-address/ https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/07/politics/fact-check-joe-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html https://checkyourfact.com/2024/03/08/fact-checking-joe-bidens-2024-state-of-the-union-address/
