President Biden on Friday took a shot at former President Trump in remarks to hail the August jobs report, calling out the job growth under his predecessor and top political rival.
“America’s now in one of the strongest job-creating periods in our history, in the history of our country. It wasn’t that long ago that America was losing jobs. In fact, my predecessor was one of only two presidents in history who entered his presidency and left with fewer jobs than when he entered,” Biden said in remarks at the White House.
His remarks follow Friday’s jobs report that found the U.S. added 187,000 jobs in August and the unemployment rate rose to 3.8 percent. Economists expected the U.S. to gain 170,000 jobs and maintain the July jobless rate of 3.5 percent, but the jobs report showed the labor market plateaued last month.
“We created more jobs in two years than any president ever created in a four-year, single four-year term,” Biden said, noting the U.S. had a 6.3 percent unemployment rate when he took office at the end of Trump’s term.



Adding 187k low paying jobs isn’t a great thing. Wages are stagnant while CEO and large corporations are raking in huge profits and they are pric gouging us with inflation and he is bragging.
Seriously he has no clue that we are drowning out here. I hate fucking politicians looking at Wallstreet (how rich people are doing)
And we added x number of jobs. Well lets look at where and pay see did you add living wage jobs or still starvation wages.
We all just got another job…
It’s either price gouging or inflation, not both.
