Statement from President Joe Biden on March Jobs Report: “This is a good jobs report for hard-working Americans. The report shows that we continue to face economic challenges from a position of strength, with the economy adding 236,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate at 3.5 percent. My economic agenda has powered an historic economic recovery. The unemployment rate is close to the lowest it has been in more than 50 years and a record low for African Americans.

Denver Mayor
The Denver Police Department kicked off its annual effort last week to raise awareness of the importance of believing survivors of sexual assault during the ninth annual Start By Believing campaign. Statistically, sexual assault occurs every 68 seconds nationally, making the probability of everyone knowing someone who has been or will be sexually assaulted incredibly high. These statistics also drive home the importance of believing survivors who have experienced these traumas and supporting them in their journey of healing and recovery.
