We understand what they are feeling,&#8221; said Jean-Pierre.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&#8220;Because &#8230; when you look at inflation, when we look at where we are economically, and we are in a strong, we are stronger economically than we have been in history, when you look at the unemployment numbers at 3.6%, when you look at the jobs numbers, more than 8.7 million of new jobs created,&#8221; she continued.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&#8220;That is important, but we understand that gas prices are high and we understand that food costs are high, and that is because of a once-in-a-generation pandemic and also Putin&#8217;s war, and that&#8217;s just the facts!&#8221; Jean-Pierre concluded.\n<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the administration took them to task for the tone-deaf comment. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, come on. Inflation is at a 40-year high, gas prices are averaging $5 a gallon nationwide, we still haven&#8217;t gotten back all the jobs we lost from the pandemic, and wages several percentage points behind inflation. Biden&#8217;s economy is historic, but not the way they&#8217;d like,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thejcoop\/status\/1545142071882911745\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">replied<\/a> John Cooper of the Heritage Foundation. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The gaslighting is getting more brazen by the day.
