Biden dismisses Rubio claim that jobs numbers are “fake”
President Biden is defending the authenticity of the just-released September jobs report. After the Labor Department reported that a surprisingly strong 254-thousand jobs were added last month, Republican Senator Marco Rubio dismissed the government report as “fake.” At the White House, President Biden responded by saying “anything MAGA Republicans don’t like they call fake. Anything. The job numbers are what the job numbers are.
