Let’s talk numbers: 227,000 jobs added in November 👏 President Biden’s economic plan is bolstering our economy. A record 16 million jobs created since President Biden took office and the only president in 50 years to have job growth every single month.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) stands out as one of the few programs that genuinely pays for itself in job creation. Observing its impact has been a revelation for me. As we’ve explored manufacturing opportunities, it’s become clear that the broader impact—particularly in direct job creation—may still be on the horizon in the next few years. Startups in the U.S. focused on clean energy manufacturing are beginning to utilize the tax credits and grants provided by the IRA. It’s been pretty wild to witness this journey, from the initial passage of the IRA to the tangible results unfolding almost daily. The upcoming years will be particularly interesting as new jobs emerge, directly tied to U.S. manufacturing projects supported by the IRA. What’s surprised me most is how little attention this is getting in the media. Many people seem completely unaware of the program’s existence or its significance unless they’re directly involved in the industry. Americans deserve to know about these transformative initiatives. It’s remarkable that such a powerful driver of economic and environmental progress is flying under the radar for so many.

We all know that’s Covid recovery. They would’ve come back no matter who was in office. Oh yeah, and quit counting government jobs as new jobs.

Wait until Trump becomes President to see the economy Vastly Improve!

Nice cherry picking of a bad news labor report. Read it and understand. Unemployment is up by 1 million from last year. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

Are you going to resign before being fired? Why has energy become drastically more expensive since you were appointed?

Government jobs inflating the federal deficit? The election is over, and reform is in. Help downsize, don't hinder.

Until the government pulls back the free hand outs and companies have to pay their own way.

I hope your bags are already packed and ready for you to move on. Your administration has done plenty of damage to our economy and especially the working class energy workers.

You can't count the jobs that came back after Covid.
