Biden Recovery – Unemployment at Lowest Level in 54 years

Today, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics released the monthly Jobs Report which shows the unemployment rate has dropped to 3.4% with more than a half million jobs created in January and 800,000 manufacturing jobs created in the last two years.

This follows the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis  in January that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at 2.9% for the last quarter of 2022 and that real wages were higher last month than they were seven months ago.

“Let’s not forget where we were when the President took office – the economy was in crisis,” said Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. “Now, we’ve achieved record job creation, record low unemployment, and a record number of small business applications. America is on the move once again.”

He is past president of The International Motor Press Assn, the Detroit Press Club, founding member and first President of the Automotive Press Assn.

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap. AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks. Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine.
