delta, omicron and even more in europe. our policies are working. we're getting results for the american people. record job creation. record unemployment declines. record wage gains and, by the way, jobs and unemployment are not just another statistic. they go directly to the core of what the economy represents. the ability for hard working americans to live with dignity, support their families and build a better life for their children. people are making more money, finding better jobs and after decades of being mistreated and paid too little, more and more american workers have real power now to get better wages. and to do what's best for themselves and their families. some people see that as a problem. we've had this discussion in the past. i don't. i see it as long overdue. so when you hear these numbers, they're not statistics. it's a statement of the type of economy we're fighting for, an economy, as i've been saying from the beginning, built from the bottom up and middle out, not from the top down.
