President Bidenಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಿದ ಖಾತೆ

Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, we were able to get Americans vaccinated, schools open, and businesses humming. Moody’s estimates that because of the Rescue Plan, 4 million more jobs were created and unemployment is 2% lower than it would have been had we failed to act.

Jill and I extend our best wishes to Muslim communities here in the United States and around the world on the beginning of Ramadan. From the People’s House to your own homes, we wish you and your loved ones a blessed and prosperous month. Ramadan Kareem!

The history and story of the Arab American community is deeply woven into the diverse tapestry of America. This National Arab American Heritage Month, I thank the community for all that you have done to help move us forward and for representing the best of who we are.

There have been only three months in the last 50 years where the unemployment rate in America was lower than it is now. What this means is clear: Americans are back to work.

In March, the unemployment rate fell to 3.6%. Down from 6.4% when I took office. The fastest decline in unemployment at the start of a president’s term ever recorded.

Over the course of my presidency, our economy has now created 7.9 million jobs. More jobs created over the first 14 months of any presidency, in any term, ever.

Today, we learned our economy created 431,000 jobs in March. And we learned that in January and February, the economy created about 100,000 more jobs than we previously thought. That means over the last three months, the economy created more than a half-million jobs a month.

We just learned that unemployment is now down to 3.6% and, in March, our economy created 431,000 jobs. This is a historic recovery — Americans are back at work.

I know gas prices are painful. My plan will help ease that pain today and safeguard against it tomorrow. I'll continue to use every tool at my disposal to protect you from Putin’s price hike. And I’m calling on Congress to put aside partisanship. Let’s meet this moment together.

When you combine production here at home with less dependence on oil it means more energy security. Between ramping up production in the short-run and driving down demand in the long-run we can free ourselves from our dependence on imported oil from across the world.

We’re setting new standards to boost the fuel economy of vehicles an average of 10 miles per gallon within 5 years. We’re setting similar standards for smaller appliances — just one of 100 actions we’re taking to save the average household another $100 per year on utility bills.

This week, my Administration is making $3.2 billion — ten times the historical level — available to states, Tribes, and territories to retrofit homes. A program that in the past has delivered the average family another $372 a year in savings.

If your home is powered by safer, cheaper, clean electricity like solar and heat pumps, you save about $500 per year on average.

If you take advantage of the next generation of electric vehicles, the typical driver will save about $80 a month in perpetuity from never having to pay at the gas pump again.

Clean energy made in America helps safeguard our national security, tackle climate change, and support millions of good-paying jobs for generations to come. But the most important thing my plan will do right away is save your family money.

Today, I am issuing a directive to strengthen our clean energy economy. To use the Defense Production Act to secure American supply chains for the critical materials that go into batteries for electric vehicles and storage of renewable energy.
