Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

An entire article on jobs, without defining what type of job were creating. Are these full time jobs, or the same "max 17 hours a week" to prevent any hope of people getting healthcare?
Under President Biden, the industries that have seen the most job growth include manufacturing, which added approximately 800,000 jobs, particularly in the South and Mountain West regions[1][2]. The health care, leisure and hospitality, and professional services sectors have also experienced significant job increases[3]. Additionally, the transportation and warehousing sector has fully recovered from pandemic losses, with 584,000 more jobs than in February 2020[1]. These gains reflect a broader economic recovery and investment in infrastructure and technology[1][3].

Are these full time jobs, or the same "max 17 hours a week" to prevent any hope of people getting healthcare?
Under President Biden, the U.S. has seen a mix of full-time and part-time job growth. Approximately 2.1 million full-time jobs and over 1.18 million part-time jobs have been added since he took office[1]. However, recent data indicates a decline in full-time jobs, with a loss of 1.5 million over the past year, while part-time jobs increased by 1.8 million[2][3]. This suggests a shift towards more part-time employment, potentially impacting access to benefits like healthcare.
