Biden's campaign pledge to create 'millions' of jobs has hit a challenge: finding workers.

President Biden's campaign pledge to create "millions" of jobs has hit a challenge: finding workers.Job potential from building out clean energy and "onshoring" — bringing home — overseas manufacturing hasn't panned out or has been overstated. His words have been more political statement than governing result.

The labor force is on track to grow only about 0.3% a year in the coming decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office, compared to over 1% as recently as 2005.If the administration were to focus its attention on importing labor, it would surely face a domestic backlash that it doesn't value American workers.

He created a million jobs. Say that. Oh, I forgot….you are Politico’s evil twin.

Unemployment is at 3.9%, lower than ever under Trump. Lower than most Presudents, right? So he fulfilled his pledge, right?

I see no problem. Call the employment office and tell those people looking for work that it is their lucky day. Joe Biden has a job for you. They can take it!!!!!!!!!! Not your favorite. Well, do this while you keep looking. You might love it. 💕💕💕

so you mean it was successful?

no one wants to work a full job with part time pay my guy

Listen here we want better jobs and benefits. Quality Quanity

are any of those jobs gonna pay jack shit? the the current ones sure don't. i need money, not a third fucking job

I have an idea. Pay the current jobs more money.

Are you liars, or stupid? Biden has already created over a million jobs. Thanks to slimy journalists like you 37% of Americans believe that the country has lost jobs under Biden. Do your jobs correctly, or get out!

The national unemployment rate was about half of what it was with Biden was elected. COVID is spreading at a fraction of the rate it was when Biden was elected,

They’re so out of touch. People don’t want to work for starvation wages anymore. People want more money, not more jobs.

Isnt according to capitalism this is where the wage increases start? For profitable companies who need workers

So he’s succeeded and Axios sucks

How much are those jobs paying?

a million people died, and like 2 million minimum probably have long Covid. you need better pay for the jobs you have. there's enough jobs. people have 2 or 3 even.

Yellow journalism.

Ah you meant to say 'additional millions' Easy mistake to make

Do the writers of this article need some bio freeze and cbd gummies? They’ve contorted themselves so hard, I’m concerned they may never recover.

Are you actively trying to present the facts in the most dishonest frame possible? Why do this?

Unemployment is 3.6% and republicans hate immigration. stop saying stupid things

Pay better.

WTAF

Yeah cuz the entry positions require 10 years experience and pay minimum wage

Challenge for who? Cheap business owners?

Good problem to have. Better than high unemployment and no jobs. Biden is doing well it that respect. GOP must be furious

Seems there’s a surplus of willing workers just across our southern border

Then they had better not complain about being unemployed! If healthy, get up and get a job!

LOL did you just say 'Biden's problem is too many jobs?'

There’s a influx of jobs/shortage of labor because they all died lol

People don't need more jobs, they need better wages at the 2-3 jobs they already work.

So the GOOD news is that Biden HAS succeeded in enabling millions of jobs and there are now millions more waiting to be filled.

Annnnnddddd

You don’t need to hire a statistician to get it right. Hire someone that can read numbers.

The media is doing everything in its power to make sure Dems lose with bull💩 like this.

Guess what...you won't stop Biden. The media has been doing this since the democratic primaries. He was up against the corrupt republicans, putin, trump, the rest of the cesspool press and he has still saved America from a fascist trump crime regime. You won't stop Biden.

Gosh...with all due respect, simply sxcks BidenBoom

Wrong. The 'challenge' is getting employers to pay wages to match the demands of the available labor supply First week of Econ 101: supply and demand Applies to the market for labor, too

Garbage article. 50 applications to mid level full-time jobs and still nothing. Now applying to low level jobs, every time I read this crap about finding workers - I call made up! If you are not entry level or in tech, you are still looking for a job.

A more accurate title would be 'finding people willing to be exploited as cheap labor'.

Try this Axios: 1/1 Jan. 2010 (Obama) unemployment is 9.8% (Thanks, Bush) Obama leaves office Jan. 2017 it is 4.7%. After 3 years of trump and right before the pandemics was 3.8%

Inexcusable for this take to see the light of day. Do better!

False equivalent. It's stunning you are not able to do better again and again.

Know how I know this headline was written by a Republican?

Not everyone wants to diarrhea stories like Sarah and Neil. Maybe people prefer laudable means of income.

Misleading garbage

Axios is shit.

Another sold out. There's a shortage of serious honest journalists. They are hard to find because they are bought to keep people divided and misinformed

Under Biden, economic growth has exceeded all forecasts. Dems are in disarray.

when did Axios become TheOnion?

Why the quotes? He has, over 7 million. Are you guys a Fox News annex now?

This is journalism?

They did create millions of Jobs. What are you whining about now?

oh ffs! what is he supposed to do? go door to door and force people to work? I am so tired of the negativity towards Biden.

Hmm I wonder where you can get more people.....

Seems like the real challenge is for you to try to not undermine Biden.

what the fuck is wrong with you?

This is why the country is fucked. Reporters writing click bait shit like thismmonrins read the headline only and form their opinion. We have record breaking jobs and you make this a bad thing

It's amazing how you wrote this article without mentioning how many people have gotten jobs since January 2021.

JohnJHarwood must be on the same payroll as Axios! dumbtakes

2019: Republicans expected to Sweep 2020 Elections with 'Millions' of Jobs Created 2022: 'Millions' of Jobs Created, How this is Actually Bad for the Dems

Huh

Axios : poor billionaire has run out of things to buy

There are already more than 7 million new jobs

How Biden Creating Millions of Jobs in Actually 'Bad' for the Dems

I think you guys should read this

Why, because employers have to PAY people? Workers are (gasp!) UNIONIZING? The horror! Please. Hiring is up, up, up, up.

WTH is this BS?

Why don't you interview job seekers? You know over the past 4 years i've been turned down for LITERALLY no the actual LITERAL! Hundreds of jobs I'm qualified for! So Why can't Employers find Employees? They want 'the perfect guy (gal). Fuck you Oligarch Propagandists!

Forgetting the sheer idiocy of the premise of this 'article,' it gets the unemployment rate wrong, too -- it's 3.6%, not 3.8%.

You went out and found the two morons that wrote this piece. There are plenty more where they came from.

How about this: Biden's economic recovery plans are working so well, businesses are struggling for workers.

What the absolute fuck is wrong with your brain?

Do better

'OH, noses...we have more demand than offer in job market than before the pandemic! damn Biden !'

Reporting like this right here is why I no longer subscribe to Axios.

Axios, what's wrong with you? The person that did this report was drunk? How it is that every single headline about Biden is framed to suggest that a victory is somehow a defeat? Do you think if Trump wins the Media will stay with the liberties they have now? Wake up!!!

Hey Haxios…

Ah. He's created more jobs than we have people looking for work. I'd say that was pretty darned good, wouldn't you?

I hear there are millions on the southern border seeking a better life. Both Americans and Ukrainians.

8 million jobs in 14 months

The problem isn't a worker shortage the problem is a pay shortage, a health and safety shortage and that's done by the Republicans. Nancy Reagan and just say no have so much to answer for

I guess we need more immigrants as everyone here is working again.

Thanks for keeping the public dumb and misinformed.

So what you are saying is that Biden is too successful

Just another media trying to make Trump happen.

Lol.

Biden = 6.5 million jobs. 3.8% unemployment. What the actual fuck are you talking about.

You guys are truly fucking amazing with finding a way to turn 11 months of over 400k jobs into a problem for Democrats. Resign from your positions immediately and question why you've wasted your time pushing garbage for clicks while thinking you're doing journalism.

So he created the jobs just no workers? Maybe its time immigration is looked at

You people are pathetic.

Yellow journalism hit piece

WTF kind of headline is that?!? Biden has created so many jobs, we can't find workers! How about instead try - Worker exploitation and low wages by amazon, Walmart, McDonaldsCorp, and others, force workers to have multiple jobs or be on public assistance to make ends meet!

Stop it. JFC just stop.

He has, in fact, created millions of jobs. JFC

Congratulations. Here's your block.

Really reaching for a 'Biden Loss' story there. 'Damn president doesn't have enough unemployed people left to continue record job growth.'

Holy smokes y'all just can't help yourselves

So the Republican message is immigrants / asylum seekers will take your job and we don't have enough worker bees?

How it is that every single headline about Biden is framed to suggest that a victory is somehow a defeat. Someone on this platform described it as 'power-washed with negativity' which is exactly right. media, WTF

JFC Axios. Record job growth and this is your headline? No wonder Biden’s approval rating on the economy is low.

Axios has gone full Politico Playbook.

I mean almost 1 million people have died throughout the pandemic … how many of those are the workers that could work these jobs!

Well yeah nearly a million workers just died of COVID

I used to think axios may be different but it pretty obvious you're just as broken as all media.

Let me fix your headline : joblessness at historic lows under Biden.

Jesus effing CHRIST!!!!! No matter what he does, no matter what positive events happen you will never report it, you will instead turn it into a negative for Biden and the Dems. I feel that every day my profound disdain and disgust for the beltway media grows and solidifies 🖕

This is an odious headline.

So according to Axios, Biden creating “millions of jobs” is now a problem for him.

And you guys are leading the ridiculousness.

This is a dishonest headline. Shameful.

Crappy headline snd premise

So low unemployment is bad under a Democrat but good under a republican? Come on man. Good news is reported as bad by bad journogandists.

Hey dummies at Axios: US is creating a million jobs EVERY TWO MONTHS. Why are you putting 'millions' in parentheses as if it's not happening 424,000 to 750,000 jobs every month for 11 months. BLS Data:

WTF is wrong with you?

So...he's running out of people to employ and that's a failure for him

Axios sucks!!!

They’re all busy working.

They’ve already created millions of jobs…

Why the weird quotation marks? He’s created 8 million jobs.

Jesus wept, this is ridiculous.

So broken.

You are full of crap.

Are you part of RT or an arm of right-wing media? You must do better than this BS.

Literally last week another record month in job growth..

Maybe he can hire fact checkers to point out your lies

lol, yes, this is a difficult 'challenge' for Joe Biden! too much success at job creation. are you kidding right now?

There are millions of jobs to be had though

JFC you guys suck

Really? That’s how you write it

So now having too many jobs is bad. He needs to force people to take work. Anything for a negative news story.

1. Biden has created millionos of jobs. 2. Some of these open jobs would be taken by immigrants. If they could get here.

do better, this is horrible reporting.

Journalism used to be an honorable and revered profession. Now we are repeatedly subjected to this subpar crap.

I don’t know Axios, sounds like he did….

Are we supposed to forget that over ONE MILLION people DIED due to COVID?

Axios needs competitive races so it can make more money.

What the hell is wrong with you?

This GOP is a fresh off the presses GOP midterm talking point to blunt Potus Joe's historical job numbers. I demand full disclosure.

Please do better than this

I swear the press is conservative by nature.

No…it means it succeeded…

Hmmm .... If only there were millions of people who'd like to come here for jobs... oh well, I guess there's no way to get more workers!

Why is this still up?

Pitiful Axios!

What

Wow I wonder what happened to employment if there's so few workers looking for jobs right now

Almost there, but could you break this into a two sentence headline for me and use the phrase “bad news”? DougJBalloon

This is bad and you should feel bad

Shame bypass. ThisisNotJournalism

It’s almost as if you are trying to manufacture a negative where there isn’t one...

We’ve already added several million jobs (because unemployment was very high in Jan 2021 and is now very low in April 2022)

Lolololol - Ivanka’s single-handedly saving the world though, yeah?

I could work at the Taco Bell at the truck stop… but I’m not going to

Maybe do a little more research on this one. Does Axios not have editors? 🤨

WTH....

Increase pay and you'll find more workers

Sooo.. his administration has created jobs. Not his job to fill them.

This is such terrible reporting it’s comical.

Axios is useless, not factual...competing with Politico.

LOL

Does Russia pay Axios?

BS Axios Biden created almost 8 million jobs in 14 months.

It's almost as if we need . . . . immigrants!

Wow! That’s your story? Turning a great thing into a bad thing? That creates competition and increases wages. Now corporations have to pay a living wage. Correct that tweet!

TheStalwart Legalize immigration

Read that tweet again. And then fire whoever wrote it.

This is a seriously stupid 'analysis'.

When your headline framing is more about reaction traffic than actual reporting...

C'mon, Axios, what is this crap? I know you hate Biden over there, but this wording is kind of insane. Please stop this. Please.

Millions of jobs created are millions of jobs created - regardless of the jobs being filled already or not yet. Maybe some appropriate wages and benefits would solve that problem of more open jobs than workers

What a stupid headline…

mainly because companies run by billionaires won't pay a living wage.

Um. ☝️🤦🏻‍♂️

Job creation and keeping workers alive aren't the same problem, if anything they are directly opposed

What is wrong with you people?

He’s already created more than 8 million. What a moronic headline.

Yes, because all the unemployed workers got their jobs back in 2021.

This is such BULLSHIT.

Crap headline. Predictable. Biden is THE JOBS PRESIDENT!

Yep, he created 8 million.

This is so dumb

Media apologists: The media isn't to blame for people's poor assessment of the economy! Reality: Media's spin on the economy is so negative that half of Americans think the strongest economic growth in history was a recession.

8 million jobs in 14 months. Biden’s achieved this and still has years to go.

A 'politically fraught' issue, the fight against immigration is a short-sighted reactionary response that fails to consider reality or implications of an aging population coupled w/ declining birthrates. But yeah, we're screwed b/c politicians aren't going to act responsibly.

Turns out we need more immigrants to fill the jobs void.

He will have his chance later this year or early next year when we enter a recession.

He’s creating it. Worker shortages are in a different conversation.

Want workers? Pay them and treat them with dignity and respect.

He already achieved this.

Open the border. Then all the Karens can't complain their overpriced coffee's aren't being made fast enough.

Sounds like time to open up immigration.

The failure of the immigration policy is to blame. Nothing has change since Biden took office.

NYT: Biden Ending Title 42 Means 18,000 Illegal Crossings Per Day at BorderBiden’s decision to end Title 42 border protections could bring a surge of migrants amounting to 18,000 illegal crossings per day — a pace that works out to over 6.5 million migrants per year. I am exhausted from worrying about the Biden administration's policies. Their lack of caring about Americans is shocking and despicable. We are a country of immigrants. We have no right to tell people they can't come here. Good for the economy!
