Madam Speaker, the Biden boom continues. Last month, 678,000 jobs were created, and unemployment ticked down to 3.8 percent--less than 4 percent. This follows the greatest year of job growth in American history and the fastest economic growth in nearly 40 years. But it is not only the fact that new jobs were created, Madam Speaker. It is also the fact that they are well-paying jobs--terrific and impressive. These jobs have given Americans the dignity of a good paycheck and much-needed financial breathing room. On the public-health front, vaccination rates have increased 50 percent since last March, making it possible for 99.9 percent of our schools to reopen and stay safely open. This is the result of strong leadership in the White House, Congress' partnership, and the backing of the American people. Together, we are building a better America, and we are standing strong with Ukraine. ____________________
