Why We’re Adding Far Fewer Jobs Than the White House Claims
Most Americans are so dissatisfied with the economy that they think the nation is already in recession. Yet the Biden administration often cites robust job growth as proof that the economy is in great shape. New data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia throw cold water on that claim, however.
