The President's Reading Copy Address on the American Economy June 17, 1970 Good afternoon, my fellow Americans: Today I would like to share my thoughts with you on three subjects that reach into the homes and pocketbooks of every family: 1. Your job, 2. Your income; and 3. Your cost of living. Specifically, I shall announce actions that will help to move us ahead more quickly towards our goal of full employment, economic growth and reasonable price stability. Let us begin by recognizing these facts: 1. The American economy is the strongest in the world. (1) This year, the number of Americans who have jobs is the highest in our history. (2) Even allowing for taxes and inflation, the average real income of Americans is higher this year than ever before, in part because of the increase in Social Security benefits, and the reduction of the tax surcharge which will end entirely this month. 124
