President Biden spoke to the nation earlier this morning about the strong jobs report that came in as the second quarter begins.

The unemployment rate was slightly better than expected.

President Biden said, "Over the course of my presidency, our recovery is 7.9 million jobs."

"More jobs created over the first 14 months over any presidency, in any term, ever, and that's striking. In March, the unemployment rate fell to 3.6%, down from 6.4%, when I took office. The fastest decline of unemployment to start a president's term ever recorded, " Biden said.

"The unemployment rate came in at 3.6%. That is strong," Varney said. Even at a very low unemployment number, Varney said there is still a worker shortage for businesses.
