President Biden and Vice President Harris are focused on bringing down inflation, ensuring that we don't give up the historic economic gains of the last year, and delivering growth that works for the American people.
Our economy is in a moment of transition: from what has been a historic economic recovery to what can be a period of stable, steady growth that works for working families.
Read on to learn more about our progress and what President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats have been up to this week →
How we got here: Building the economy from the bottom up and the middle out
To understand our current economic moment, you have to understand the impact of President Biden's American Rescue Plan:
1️⃣ The American Rescue Plan helped deliver one of the strongest job markets in American history: Since President Biden took office, the unemployment rate has dropped from 6.4% to 3.6%.
2️⃣ The U.S. recovery has been the envy of the world: Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, the U.S. economy is projected to be larger at the end of this year -- relative to its pre-pandemic size -- than any other Group of 7 economy.
Bipartisan effort to pass commonsense gun laws
Last week, President Biden met with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) to discuss gun violence prevention legislation to make our communities safer.
This week, a bipartisan group of senators announced a framework to curb gun violence and improve school safety and mental health programs. These steps would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass Congress in decades.
