White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confused countless Americans during her daily briefing Wednesday when she claimed families “are not looking at cost-to-cost comparisons” from today to “two years ago.”
“We all understand the American people are not looking at cost-to-cost comparisons from this year to two years ago,” said Psaki.
The number of Americans voluntarily leaving their job rose to a record high in recent days, climbing to 2.9% as the country struggles to rebound from the COVID pandemic and increasing inflation.
“Industries that saw the largest decrease in the number of job openings include health care and social assistance (-224,000), accommodation and food services (-178,000) and state and local government education (-124,000). Job openings increased in the federal government (+22,000),” reports Fox News.
“This as the total number of quits rose by 242,000 to 4,3 million. The quits rate hit a record high 2.9%,” adds Fox. “Quits increased in accommodation and food services (+157,000), wholesale trade (+26,000) and state and local government education (+25,000).”
The new data comes as national gas prices continue to climb.
The national price for a gallon of gasoline rose to $3.21 Wednesday, reaching a new high for 2021 after steadily increasing from $2.18 on Inauguration Day.
Experts predict the cost will likely reach $3.30 by the end of October.

WATCH: Psaki Dodges Questions About Biden’s Mental State After Terrorists Kill 13 US Troops
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked by reporters to comment on the President’s mental state this week; saying he was “somber” and “outraged” after terrorists killed at least 13 service members in Afghanistan.
“How is he? How is his mood? How is he dealing with all the incoming information, how was he in asking the questions to military commanders?” asked one reporter.
“Putting the lives of service men and women at risk, those decisions that you have to make way heavily on him. Any day when you lose service members may be the worst day of your presidency,” said Psaki.
“He was somber, as he said, outraged at these terrorists taking the lives of service members,” she added.

An image of President Biden hunched at his podium went viral on social media Thursday after the Commander-in-Chief spoke with reporters following the terror blast.
“Do you bear any responsibility for the way that things have unfolded in the last two weeks?” asked Fox News’ Peter Doocy.
“I bear responsibility, fundamentally, for all that’s happened… You know as well as I do that a former president made a deal with the Taliban that he would get all American forced out of Afghanistan by May 1…” said Biden.
