US unemployment rate improves to 8% level Both candidates fight for presidential election September 5, 10:06

While President Trump emphasized the V-shaped recovery in the last month's unemployment rate improved from more than 10% to the 8% level, the Democratic party's candidate Biden denounced that the gap was widening. The debate over the economic situation is intensifying for the election.

Last month, the U.S. Department of Labor's unemployment rate fell from 10.2% in the previous month to 8.4%, better than market expectations.



Regarding this, President Trump said, "Unlike the previous administration, we are witnessing the earliest employment recovery in history. This is a V-shaped recovery."



Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Biden said, "The president's missteps have only worsened the economic gap. The wealthy people above are getting better, while the middle class are going down."



Mr. Biden pointed out that the so-called "K-shaped recovery" makes it clear where recovery is good and where it is not, and has indicated that he will implement measures to improve the employment environment in the future.



In the United States, due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the unemployment rate in April deteriorated to the worst 14% level after the war and continued to improve after that, but the presidential election in November also focuses on the economic feeling of voters. The debate between the two candidates over the economic situation is intensifying.
