JESSE WATTERS (HOST): The media called it stunning. It's not stunning, it's a scandal. The Biden administration's cherry picking and double counting the numbers. Ready? It's not what it seems.
Twenty percent are government jobs, so we're just paying their salaries. And nearly half of all jobs are part-time jobs, which means Biden's double dipping and double counting. You see, if you work part-time at both Burger King and Wendy's, Joe Biden counts you twice, two jobs.
And a third of the jobs -- 96,000 -- are in leisure and hospitality, that's like bartenders hostesses, waitresses, not really careers. Now, what about full-time salary jobs? We lost 22,000 of them. Not a time for celebration Joe. This is a straight up scandal.
