Sep 4, 20201:12Now PlayingDemocratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said the country has not seen enough economic recovery since the coronavirus outbreak began months ago.
He blasted President Donald Trump for downplaying COVID-19, saying that it will continue to kill Americans and ravage the economy.
U.S. unemployment dropped sharply in August to a still-high 8.4% from 10.2%, with about half the 22 million jobs lost to the coronavirus outbreak recovered so far, the government said Friday in one of the last major economic reports before Election Day.
Employers added 1.4 million jobs last month, the Labor Department said, down from 1.7 million in July and the fewest since hiring resumed in May.
But the economy has recovered barely half the 22 million jobs that vanished when the pandemic paralyzed the nation in early spring.
Biden also accused of being out of touch with ordinary Americans, caring instead about his wealthy friends and donors.
"Families teeter on the brink of hunger and homelessness, and our president calls that success, what does that say about what he values?" Biden said Friday.
