Fact-checking President Biden’s job growth claim during first State of the Union address

President Joe Biden delivered his first State of the Union address on Tuesday, March 1, amid Russia’s attack on Ukraine and America’s ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

During his address, Biden reiterated the role of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), an alliance created in 1949 after World War II, and how the United States is protecting the alliance’s member nations amid the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

His claim was that they created over 6 million NEW jobs... Allowing people to go back to their old jobs (that the government mandates prevented them from going to) shouldn't be considered the same thing

[SSBB]

Is he really saying he created almost 7 million jobs? This is a joke

[truegrit]

Is it really job-creation when people are just going back to work after being told to stay home for at least a year.🤔

[richardhorn]

Yeah because millions of jobs in 2020 don't exist due to going out of business

[mattcandiepetty]

Well at least he’s going to finally end cancer
