Hannity is already jumping on Biden for riding a bike five miles with his wife on her birthday in the middle of the week.
Unemployment went to record lows during the first three years of the Trump economy. Record lows for minorities and very low for women. And while during Obama, going from 12 to 8% is good, it is a lot easier than going from 8% to 4%.
Biden rolling in after a pandemic is ending and claiming credit for the gains is laughable. He put the nation in deep debt, even deeper than Trump and Pelosi had to prime the pump. So while he is sending out huge checks to states and cities, beware, our kids will eventually blame us for the bills the Boomers and Generation X left them.

.
In stead of asking that question, why not post one of Biden's accomplishments that is going to make America a better place to live? I could use a little good news... could you provide some?
In that I started the thread with the following Biden accomplishments:
1. He killed 50,000 jobs and immediately increased fuel prices by nixing the XL Pipeline
2. He made the country much less safe by reversing the travel ban from countries who could not vet their people.
3. He made sure that illegal aliens are counted in the census to take our tax money and representation away from citizens.
4. He stopped construction of the border wall.
5. He sent an amnesty bill (written by the US Chamber of Commerce) that will allow every single illegal immigrant who was here on January 1st to become a voting citizen in 8 years. Note that it will be illegal for anyone to actually check if someone was truly here by that date.
6. He extended the eviction and foreclosure moratorium until March 31 further driving landlords into bankruptcy and sending properties to banks.
7. He called for unity while in the same breath called half of Americans domestic terrorists.
I must ask why is this considered bashing him? He did all of these things. Is it your opinion that he should not have done so? Biden took credit for each for these.
How is it bashing when one highlights the actions of Biden?
Another recent accomplishment, he withdrew his attempt to discriminate on a racial basis, distribution of covid relief funds. Of course this was after the Courts told him it was unconstitutional.
Yet another Biden accomplishment. My bank account is $1400 richer due to his helicopter money.
My grandchildren will pay for it with interest.
2. On Inauguration Day, President Biden rescinded a policy widely known as the “Muslim ban” — a Trump administration-imposed ban on allowing people from seven Muslim-majority countries to travel to the United States. Biden has called the policy “morally wrong” and “designed to target primarily Black and Brown immigrants.” Polls show that U.S. public opinion is on his side.
3. The Trump administration’s protracted efforts to keep some immigrants from being counted when congressional seats are divvied up after the 2020 census ended with the former president’s departure from the White House, but President Joe Biden's administration inherits a census running far behind schedule.
Among his first acts after being inaugurated, Biden on Wednesday is expected to sign an executive order undoing his predecessor’s plan to keep undocumented immigrants from being included in the state-by-state tallies that determine how those living in the U.S. are represented in Congress for the next 10 years.
Trump’s plan to fundamentally alter the process had already been foiled by processing delays, but Biden’s order serves as an official reversal as state lawmakers wait for the detailed census results they need to reconfigure political districts to reflect a decade’s worth of population growth.
Obviously it isn't a major impediment to offer a refutation of "Biden's accomplishments" Why do you resort to simply saying that it is Biden bashing.
Have to appreciate that your reference states:
In the report, the agency wrote that 10,400 estimated positions would be for seasonal construction work lasting four to eight-month periods. Since the State Department defines "job" as "one position that is filled for 1 year," that would equate to approximately 3,900 jobs over a two-year period.
Perhaps you are unaware that all construction jobs are "temporary"" i.e. the building is finished etc.
Shutting down oil leases on federal land not only hurts unemployment numbers, it also raises the price of gasoline, which is a big strain on the working poor. $3.09, last gas station I saw.

I'm terrible at math. How did you arrive at your final figure?
Also, why are you so big a tar sands oil? Tar sands oil is more polluting to produce, transport and refine than conventional oil because it contains more carbon and more toxic substances, such as heavy metals and sulfur.
With regard to tar sands oil, your comment is typical of the liberal mindset. You use the word "more" 3 times, yet supply no facts to judge the statement. Does "more" mean .01%, .1%, 1% etc.
Making it sound ominous does not make it right.
So "Since the State Department defines "job" as "one position that is filled for 1 year," that would equate to approximately 3,900 jobs over a two-year period." is in the report I cited?
BTW, I used "not permanent jobs" in the context of people claiming the number of people employed by the pipeline would be in the thousands, even after it was built. When TC Energy said the pipeline would create nearly 119,000 jobs, a State Department report instead concluded the project would require fewer than 2,000 two-year construction jobs and that the number of jobs would hover around 35 after construction,
Tar sand (see below) is not anywhere close to crude oil but some people pushing a pipeline don't want to admit that.
"Unlike conventional crude oil, which is a liquid that be pumped from belowground deposits and then piped to refineries, bitumen requires additional effort to extract and transport."
