On January 10, 2022, President Joe Biden took to the podium and spoke about the economic growth and the record growth in the creation of jobs since the last several decades.
Record creation of the jobs
He said that a record number of people joined the labor forces in America. The number of people who joined the labor forces has built up fastest since the year 1996. Also, the biggest increase in the labor forces is among the age group of 25-54, which comprises the prime age group for the workers. According to him, this is the highest participation of people in the last 43 years. This was a record in the number of job creations in the labor forces and the decline in unemployment.
Also, the wage gains by men and women have set another record for the workers in some of the toughest jobs compared to the last four decades.
From day one, my economic agenda has been different. It's been about taking a fundamentally new approach to our economy: one that sees the prosperity of working families as a solution, not the problem.

Words for Republicans
President Biden also condemned the acts of the opposition party, the Republican Party, who were trying to bad-mouth the recovery. According to him, they were reacting in this way because the legislation made it happen. He further added that they voted against the tax cuts for middle-class families. The people in the opposition voted against the money required to reopen schools and to vaccinate frontline warriors with booster doses.

Vaccination and people going back to their mundane life
Biden mentioned that about 200 million people are fully vaccinated and have resumed returning to their workplaces. This has happened when America is coping and emerging from wave after wave of the pandemic. America has reported more than 1 Million cases as of January 10, 2022.
Criticism on social media
