YELLEN: CONGRESS NEEDS TO ‘GO BIG’:
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Friday that despite the strong job gains last month, Congress still needs to “go big” by passing President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief package to get millions of people back to work sooner. In an interview with the PBS NewsHour on Friday, Yellen said Biden’s package should not be trimmed just because the February jobs report showed 379,000 new jobs had been created, the best showing since October. “The most important thing is to get our economy back on track and to help people get their lives back in order to make sure this pandemic does not permanently scar our workforce,” she said.
