Great to hear this kind of news - Happy 4th of July!

President Biden is leading the economy into a strong recovery. What a difference from this time last year!

What did Biden do to affect this?

The Biden administration’s effective, efficient vaccine distribution has enabled a quicker reopening than we would have had with a dysfunctional distribution. Reopening = jobs.

Kind of hard to make that argument without any way to make a comparison.

Yeah, imagining a Trump vaccine rollout is imagining a counterfactual, but the basic premise is self-evident: the faster the disease stops posing a threat, the faster things can get back to normal. Given how horrendously dysfunctional Trump’s administration was and how poorly they handled the procurement and distribution of PPE, it’s not hard to believe that he would’ve done a poor job with the vaccine as well. Whatever you think of his policies, he was a terrible administrator.

We could always compare his administration to the previous one...

I know there are a few states that have ended the extra money for unemployment. That probably has a lot to do with it, not Washington.

And why did those states end the extended unemployment benefits?

Because the lazy people wouldn’t go to work.

And yet the unemployment rate rose... guess there were more lazy people than you thought.

This has been looked at quite a bit and the evidence is, at best, inconclusive. It’s also probably too early to tell.

Nice. Of course it’s laziness and not low pay, poor working conditions, and/or difficulty finding childcare making people reluctant to go back.

Speaking of which, can somebody get those lazy schlubs at the Aston Martin to hurry up and build me a DBX for $10k?

I thought there were 850k new jobs.

Your article doesn't prove your assertion that it's "because the lazy people wouldn't go to work". I completely disagree with your assertion, the people aren't being lazy.

And that article is for one state - do you know why the other states ended it?

Same reason. Trying to motivate the lazy to go to work.

That's not the reason. Also, there are no lazy people; that's a myth made up by failed businesses to use as an excuse for failure. There are 850k new jobs (see OP).

He wasn’t Donald Trump for starters. He let the qualified adults do their jobs.

The states’ bidding wars would have been a sight to see, I’m sure!

Lazy people do work when they have to.

Which was what?

Here's an interesting article which shows that of the people who are returning to work, most of them are men.
