Biden Falsely Claims He Was A Truck Driver

The administration highlighted what it calls “unprecedented actions” to both expand and improve trucker jobs since Biden's inauguration.

The administration points to job growth among truckers over the course of 2021 and, in particular, between December 2021 and February 2022. In a release, the White House called it the "best three-month stretch for long-distance truck hiring since the 1990s."

But the jobs report released Friday showed that some of those gains were given back last month. The truck transportation industry overall lost 4,900 jobs between February and March, a sour note in a report that showed payrolls rise by 431,000 across the overall economy.
