Through the rest of #kyga22 we’re going to hear a lot of false claims about a slow recovery to justify painful cuts to the safety net.

I just wanted to come here to say those claims aren’t true. We’re in the midst of a historically strong recovery.🧵
kypolicy.org/kentucky-jobs-… Just by way of comparison, the current employment recovery is 6 times faster than the 2001 recovery, and outpaces all of them going back to 1981.

(And that's even after throwing out May 2020 when call-backs led to >100,000 returning to their jobs!)
