President Joe Biden is scheduled to deliver remarks about Friday’s jobs report, which showed hiring levels in April falling wildly below expectations.
Nonfarm payrolls that month rose by 266,000, a fraction of the 1 million-plus job adds that Wall Street anticipated.
The unemployment rate rose to 6.1%, its first uptick since April 2020, when coronavirus-induced lockdowns first battered the economy.
The disappointing report comes as the Biden administration pitches the nation on a pair of massive, multitrillion-dollar spending plans aimed at lifting the U.S. out of the pandemic and overhauling the economy.
