The Biden Jobs Boom Continues
Three years ago, the President inherited an economy on the brink—the worst economic crisis in a century.
President Biden has overseen the great American comeback: His plan is growing the middle class and lowering costs.
272,000 jobs created last month for a total 15.6 million jobs created under President Biden.
Unemployment at or under 4% for 30 months in a row—the longest stretch in 50 years.
A record share of working-age women and people with disabilities have jobs.
Inflation is down 60% and incomes are up more than prices.
Families are still struggling. President Biden is fighting every day to lower costs.
Negotiating lower prescription drug prices, capping insulin at $35/month, and saving millions of Americans $800/year on health care.
A plan to make rent more affordable by building 2 million new homes, lower child care costs, and cut taxes for hardworking families.
Taking on price gouging by banning hidden junk fees and calling on corporations with record profits to lower prices—with Target and Walmart answering his call and lowering grocery prices.
Congressional Republicans are siding with the rich and special interests. They have no plan to lower costs.
Cutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act.
Slashing taxes for billionaires and big corporations while raising taxes for middle-class families.
Increasing costs for health care, housing, and utility bills.
