Record employment?

Lower unemployment rate?  The unemployment rate is a political figure that gets "adjusted" by politicians, usually to make them look better or make their rivals look worse.  

So when Mr Biden and the Democrats claim they have created "more jobs than ever" they are lying.

There is a another, more accurate, way to measure employment, published by the US Labor department.  Is called the civilian labor force participation rate.  It is a measure of how many people are seeking to be employed, or have jobs... i.e. How many people are participating in the jobs market.  According to that measure, fewer people, as a percentage of the population are employed or seeking employment.
