Speaking of the jobs report released Friday, which showed 194,000 jobs created in September, a Fox News host claimed, “And these numbers could get worse as some economists are telling us vaccine mandates could cause another economic crisis. The president pushing back on that yesterday because he’s celebrating his vaccine mandates just hours before those dismal jobs reports came out.”
No one but Fox News is calling a net gain of 363,000 jobs (when including revisions for the previous two month) “dismal,” and reputable economists are not claiming mandates will lead to “another economic crisis.” In fact, most predict it will be a shot in the arm (pun intended) for the US economy as people feel safer going out in public.
