In a recent government meeting, officials highlighted significant economic developments under President Biden's administration. The economy added over 200,000 jobs last month, contributing to a total of 15.7 million jobs created in the past three and a half years. This job growth is accompanied by a surge in travel, with a record 3 million travelers screened at airports, indicating a robust economic recovery as Americans embark on summer vacations.
To further support this recovery, the administration sold 1 million barrels of gasoline to help lower prices ahead of the Fourth of July, which saw the lowest gas prices in three years. A report from the Economic Innovation Group underscored these achievements, noting that communities previously left behind are experiencing job growth more than four times faster than during the last administration. This progress is attributed to the president's \"Investing in America\" agenda, which aims to revitalize struggling areas.
Additionally, the meeting provided insights into President Biden's recent engagements. Over the past ten days, he has actively connected with the public, visiting cities such as Atlanta, Raleigh, New York, and New Jersey. His schedule included remarks on the Supreme Court, a briefing on extreme weather events at the DC Emergency Operations Center, and a Fourth of July barbecue with military families, showcasing his commitment to both governance and community engagement.
