If you include revisions, well over A Million. Jobs are going up Job Pay is going up but so is inflation. Thats really going up and eating away at those gains. We will have the latest from the president and now hes dealing with this and framing all of this and how you are going to deal with this going forward. We have experts what youre seeing at the Grocery Stores in general, thats going to last for a while. So much to get into. So happy to have you with us, welcome, everybody, im neil cavuto.

Daily vaccinations are up slightly from last week but the country is recording a new surge of cases among the unvaccinated. Right now rear seeing numbers we have not seen since april. The u. S. Is averaging more than 63,000 Covid Cases a day, that is a 59 increase over last weeks sevenday average. So lets begin this hour with John Harwood At The white house.

Hes involved in a project with President Obama on Voter Fairness in this country which has been a battle going on for so long, that you would think you would think, that at some point, it would be settled. But that meeting in the white House Today was very similar to the kind of meeting that the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King jr. Used to have in the White House with the president. And here we are, still, at it. I just spoke with Wade Henderson, who was at that Meeting Today. And i was interested to hear. He is a very measured person.
