Biden was placed in charge of promoting the [[Obama administration]]'s alleged [[Recovery Summer]] which never materialized.<ref>[https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/administration-kicks-recovery-summer-with-groundbreakings-and-events-across-country Administration Kicks Off "Recovery Summer" with Groundbreakings and Events Across the Country], The [[White House]], Office of the Press Secretary, Press Release, June 17, 2010. Retrieved from www.whitehouse.gov October 9, 2010.</ref> It was a failed attempt to highlight the Democratic Congress's [[American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009]], or "[[economic stimulus]] program. During the so-called 'Recovery Summer', the workforce shrank, [[unemployment]] swelled, and [[economic growth]] slowed to less than 2%. More Americans fell victim to Democrat economic policy and by the [[2010 Midterm election]] sweep no less than 27,000,000 people were unemployed or underemployed.
During 'Recovery Summer' 393,000 jobs were destroyed according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,<ref>https://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutputServlet?request_action=wh&graph_name=CE_cesbref1</ref> unemployment rose,<ref>http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?chart_type=bar&s[1][id]=UNRATE</ref> and [[economic growth]] slowed from 5.7% to 1.6%.<ref>http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?chart_type=bar&s[1][id]=GDPC1</ref> The number counted by the [[Department of Labor]] as unemployed at the start of Recovery Summer was 14,599,000 Americans in July 2010; by September there were 14,767,000 Americans looking for work. 168,000 more unemployed than before President Obama and Vice President Biden announced Recovery Summer had begun.<ref>https://townhall.com/columnists/RichGalen/2010/10/29/relapse_summer</ref>
