The U.S. added 266,000 jobs in April, which sounds great until you realize that economists were giddily predicting one million new jobs. Axios reports that is âthe biggest miss, relative to expectations, in decades.â
If that wasnât bad enough, Marchâs numbers were revised downward from 916,000 to 770,000.
All Joe Biden had to do was take the baton from Donald Trumpâs stellar pandemic recovery and run with it. Instead, heâs stumbling up the stairs.

The trial of ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd last month raised civil rights activists hopes of a turning point in accountability for law enforcement. But as Chauvin was being tried, police in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, fatally shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright, while police in Chicago shot and killed 13-year-old Adam Toledo. Just minutes before Chauvin was found guilty, a police officer in Columbus, Ohio, shot and killed 16-year-old Ma Khia Bryant.
The contrast between President Joe Biden s promises and the reality of police reform points to the difficulty of balancing the need for urgency with a desire for broad and deep changes to policing in America, particularly among marginalized communities.
