This is VOA news. Reporting by remote, I'm David Byrd. President Joe Biden says the U.S. economy is in trouble and he is again laying out the case for moving ahead with his coronavirus relief package. AP's Sagar Meghani has details. The government's latest jobs report shows hiring has stalled. Hundreds of thousands have left the labor¹ force. The president says a lot of folks are losing hope. "... so I'm going to act and I'm going to act fast" and alone if need be. The president's increasingly calling out Republicans for pitching a relief bill far smaller than the $1.9 trillion he's seeking. "I'm going to help the American people who are hurting now." Both the Senate and House have now taken the first steps toward approving the package with no GOP backing. Sagar Meghani, Washington.
