‘History Has Been Made Here,’ Biden Lauds Jobs Report
President Biden celebrated data that showed unexpectedly rapid January hiring and record job gains over the past year as the economy rebounded from historically large job losses at the start of the pandemic.

America is back to work. Today, we learned that in January, our economy created 467,000 jobs, but that’s not all. We learned that job growth in November and December over last year was revised up by more than 700,000 jobs. On top of that, 400,000 jobs have previously — on top of the 400,000 that were previously reported. This morning’s report caps off my first year as president. And over that period, our economy created 6.6 million jobs — 6.6 million jobs. If you can’t remember another year when so many people went to work in this country, there’s a reason: It never happened. Take a look at the chart. You’re going to look at the last, all the way back to President Reagan. Look how many jobs we’ve created, an average per month. This is — it’s never happened before. And look, history’s been made here.
