In a significant moment for the U.S. economy, President Joe Biden celebrated the latest jobs report, emphasizing the nation’s ongoing recovery and the achievement of surpassing 15 million new jobs created during his presidency.

The president’s remarks came after the release of the March employment figures, which revealed the addition of 303,000 new jobs to the workforce.

This development not only signals a rebound in economic activity but also highlights a notable milestone in the administration’s efforts to bolster employment opportunities across the country.

“Today’s jobs report marks another chapter in America’s comeback,” President Biden declared. “With the report of 303,000 new jobs in March, we’ve passed the milestone of 15 million jobs created since I took office.”

The president underscored the profound impact of job creation on individual lives, emphasizing that each new position represents “15 million more people who have the dignity and respect that comes with a paycheck.”

This reflects the administration’s focus on strengthening economic security for Americans amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic.
