The White House is aggressively promoting a rosy economic outlook ahead of President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
In the wake of a strong jobs report, the Biden administration says the president will talk up the economic positives as a major theme in his speech."You will hear [Biden] talk about the progress that we have made," said Brian Deese, the director of the National Economic Council."This has been an animating part of what the president has wanted to achieve as president."
In addition to Deese's appearance, the White House has released a lengthy fact sheet with the headline"The Biden economic plan is working." The figures reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday morning provide reassurance about the strength of the economy. The unemployment rate fell to 3.4%, the lowest rate since 1969.
