Responding to a Friday jobs report showing that far fewer jobs were added to the U.S. economy, President Joe Biden claimed the Delta COVID-19 variant is the reason why.
There is “no question the Delta variant is why the jobs report isn’t stronger,” Biden said Friday in prepared remarks, coming hours after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the economy added 235,000 jobs in the month of August. Economists had projected 750,000 jobs being added during the month.
