Standing by. What does it mean for the Biden Administration . Good morning, dana. This disappointing jobs report comes as the Omicron Variant is threatening the economic recovery while inflation is at its highest pace in four decades. This is bad news for the administration. The bright spot here is unemployment fell to 3. 9 , the lowest weve seen it during the pandemic. Administration is likely to highlight this as an achievement for them. But the report covers the week including december 12th. That came before the Omicron Spike ahead of christmas that really surged the cases across the country. Economists say now policymakers need to be very careful. Cant get close to the gdp. When you get that high there will be Runaway Inflation and maybe a default.

A lot of questions here at the white house today about backing up this big promise for half a billion tests by next month. The government telling us theres going to be a new website where people can go to request a test for free to be sent to their house, but so far we dont have much on timing. We dont know how many tests each person is going to be able to order for free. We also dont know exactly how they are going to back this up. Because, as the New York Times is reporting today, and as jen psaki confirmed in the clip youre about to see, they still havent signed the contract yet. Why is it you guys are promising 500 million tests next month if you havent even signed a contract . We have no concern about the contract being finalized. We are working to finalize the contract.
