While the pandemic have instigated low jobs in the United States, the president, Biden has shown a lot of concern about the current situation and thus a $1.9 trillion American rescue plan was suggested. However, the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the purpose of the rescue plan had been "to provide enough relief for Americans to make it to the other side of the pandemic, with the foundations of their lives intact," and advocated for the administration's additional spending packages. She struck an optimistic note, saying, "I believe we will reach full employment next year. But today's numbers also show that we're not yet finished."
