The White House
Case #
5780

Twitter community adds a context note to White House tweet:  The official Twitter account for the White House tweeted, “President Biden’s economic plan helped create 10.5 million new jobs – including 750,000 manufacturing jobs." Twitter added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know.” The added context read "Accurate: +10.5M Jobs (750k manufacturing) since 1/2021. Also accurate: Only +1.4M jobs (150k manufacturing) since 1/2020. How is that possible? Answer: 22M jobs lost in Mar & Apr of 2020 (COVID). It took until 4/2022 to return to pre-COVID employment numbers." The note included two links to articles to support the assertion. The label is part of Twitter’s Community Notes system. Twitter users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to tweets.
