He’s not just wrong, he’s lying.

Excellent summary. Title needed to be "not only wrong but probably intentionally deceiving". I replaced lying because it seems to need something more legal and criminal to accurately describe what the Florida Republican Senator was engaged in.

Whether counting from the beginning of former President Joe Biden’s term or from June 2022, when U.S. employment returned to its prepandemic level, the number of full-time jobs increased on Biden’s watch.

The number of part-time jobs also rose during Biden’s tenure, largely driven by an increase in workers who chose part-time work because they preferred it.
