President-elect Joe Biden on Friday seized upon the latest monthly snapshot of the United States jobs market to urge lawmakers in Washington to immediately pass another round of virus relief aid for struggling household and businesses, as well as state and local governments.
Invoking his own father’s struggles with unemployment, Biden urged Congress and President Donald Trump to “act now†and pass a new round of fiscal relief before the end of December when more virus relief aid programmes will lapse.
The president-elect said he was encouraged by a $908bn bipartisan COVID-19 relief bill advanced by senators this week.
