R-FLA Sen. Rick Scott has condemned President Donald Trump’s predecessor for recent economic turbulence, lower consumer reliability and uncertainty, and lower consumer reliability and uncertainty.
On CNN’s “Affiliation Status” on Sunday, host Jake Tupper asked Scott: How bad is this interference and how long will it last? ”
“Well, first of all, Donald Trump walked in a cheesy economy. The number of full-time jobs is almost reducing the entire Biden administration,” Scott said.
Scott is wrong about full-time employment trends under President Joe Biden. Full-time jobs increased during Biden’s tenure. Part-time jobs also increased, driven by people who wanted to work part-time.
Scott’s office did not respond to inquiries for this article.
Full-time jobs rose under Biden
Regarding full-time employment, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that employment numbers increased in the last month of Biden’s inauguration, from 125.2 million in January 2021 to 133.5 million in Biden’s first month, and 133.5 million in December 2024. This is an increase in employment of 8.3 million people over four years (approximately 6.6%).
Another way to look at the data is to start counting in June 2022, when the US returned to its pre-pandemic employment levels. This does not include employees returning to work after pandemic conditions have improved.
When we start counting in June 2022, we still have modest employment, or about 0.8% of employment, but it’s still rising.
Part-time jobs also rose under Biden
Part-time jobs also rose during Biden’s tenure.
The Labor Bureau tracks two part-time job statistics. One is counting the overall numbers and part-time jobs “for financial reasons.” The latter category counts people working part-time due to “adverse business conditions, inability to find full-time jobs, seasonal decline in demand.” People in this category told Research Takers that they prefer full-time jobs and can employ them.
An increase in the number of people working part-time for economic reasons is considered a concern for the economy, but an increase in people working part-time for non-economic reasons is not the case.
This is because many of these people work part-time by choice. Often they are students, parents of young children, retirees, or people seeking a specific lifestyle.
“My research consistently found that voluntary part-time workers report work schedules, job well as job satisfaction, and job satisfaction, than both full-time workers and part-time workers for financial reasons.” “That’s a good thing.”
Under Biden, part-time jobs growth was driven by people working part-time by choice, not because they were unable to find full-time jobs.
The number of Americans working part-time for financial reasons accounts for a small percentage of all part-time workers, and also a smaller percentage of all part-time workers compared to all workers. Anyway, these stocks fell over the course of Biden’s term.
Our arbitration
“The number of full-time jobs is almost reducing the overall Biden administration,” Scott said.
Full-time jobs have risen on Biden’s watch, whether counting from the beginning of Biden’s term or from June 2022, when US employment returned to pre-pandemic levels.
Part-time jobs also increased. This was driven largely by an increase in the number of workers who chose part-time jobs because they preferred full-time jobs, not because they tried and failed full-time jobs.
Rate the statement as false.
