Biden-Employers Competing For Workers Means More Jobs, Better Wages

WHITE HOUSE

Select quotes from US President Joe Biden's remarks on today's NFP report:

  • "More jobs. Better wages. That's a good combination. Put simply, our economy is on the move and we have Covid-19 on the run."
  • "The last time the economy grew at this rate was in 1984 and Ronald Reagan was telling us it's morning in America. Well it's getting close to afternoon here and the sun is coming out,"
  • "Instead of workers competing with each other for jobs that are scarce, employers are competing with each other to attract workers...More jobs. Better wages. That's a good combination."
  • "None of our economic growth happened by chance or accident. It's our economic plan. Our vaccine strategy. Our American Rescue Plan."
