“Right now, real wages for the average American worker is” — sic — “higher than it was before the pandemic, with lower wage workers seeing the largest gains,” Mr. BidenTwitter Community Notes quickly attached a warning for readers that Mr. Biden’s “claim about real wages contains a factual error.”
Mr. Biden has frequently been called out on Twitter for some of his economic boasts. In late June, Mr. Biden took to Twitter to announce that he had cut the deficit by $1.7 trillion in two years, adding that it was the biggest reduction by any president in history. Right now, real wages for the average American worker is higher than it was before the pandemic, with lower wage workers seeing the largest gains.“The $1.7 [trillion] spending reduction claimed by Biden was the result of pandemic emergency spending that automatically expired versus action taken by the president,” the note said.
