Fact check: Biden makes misleading claim about job-creation estimate
CNN
In a speech in Michigan on Tuesday and again in a speech back in Washington on Friday, President Joe Biden touted the potential economic impact of his two major current legislative proposals: a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and a larger, still-being-negotiated Democratic reconciliation package that would expand the social safety net in various ways.
Biden said in Michigan that, earlier this year, "a Wall Street outfit called Moody's projected that the investments in these bills could help our economy create an additional 2 million jobs per year, every year. Two million per year. That's going to bte transformative."
On Friday, Biden omitted the word "help." This time, he said that Moody's Analytics projected that the bills would produce "an additional 2 million jobs per year."
