Harris/Biden claim 800k jobs, reality 137k grown in manufacturing...... Biden and Harris have been lying all along about job growth, rebound was by far most of it...
In a recent interview on "The View," Harris claimed credit for "creating almost 800,000 new jobs around manufacturing." At a separate event in October, she said 730,000 new manufacturing jobs were created.
Preliminary September data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that since Mr. Biden took office in January 2021, the U.S added around 729,000 manufacturing jobs.
The data suggests that not all of these were "new" manufacturing jobs that were created since Mr. Biden took office, as some of the job gains were likely jobs returning after the economic fallout of the COVID era. There were roughly 137,000 additional manufacturing jobs in September 2024 compared to pre-pandemic levels in February 2020.
