Biden Promotes Economic Policies in Pennsylvania Amid Job Cuts

Despite a 20-year low unemployment rate in Allentown, recent layoffs at major companies contrast with the president's economic recovery narrative.

President Biden visited small businesses in Allentown, Pennsylvania, promoting his economic policies amid recent job cuts across multiple sectors.
Biden's visit was met with mixed reactions, including heckling from some onlookers.
The president's visit comes as unemployment in Allentown reaches a 20-year low of 3.9%, with 32,000 jobs added in the region and new business applications growing by over 30% in 2022.
Despite these positive figures, recent layoffs at major institutions like Citigroup, Google, and Amazon contrast with the economic recovery narrative.
Biden's economic policies, dubbed 'Bidenomics', have been criticized by Republicans, while others argue that the strong economy and low unemployment are results of these policies.
