President Biden: Economic Plan Is Working Despite Jobs Report

The video discusses the disappointing April jobs report, where only 266,000 jobs were added, far fewer than the expected 1,000,000. It explores the debate over whether larger unemployment checks from the American Rescue Plan are discouraging people from working. The president emphasizes that those on unemployment must accept suitable job offers or lose benefits, with some COVID-19 exceptions. Additionally, the White House announced $350 billion for state, local, and tribal governments for various uses, including rehiring workers and expanding broadband. Relief checks totaling over $2 billion were also sent to 16,000 restaurants affected by the pandemic.
