But, but but....what about the Russian scandal? What's more important to the American people, the economy and wages or the year long Russian investigation that hasn't presented one single fact Trump colluded with the Russians?

How much longer can the left hold out until the "death to America" chant comes along?

Here's the important part.This is something the previous administration was never able to accomplish.

Medium-sized firms (50-499 employees) led with 97,000.

As Predicted: Corporate 1st Quarter Earnings Are Best in a Quarter Century – Stocks Ready to Rise!

Marketwatch reported yesterday that the first quarter’s earnings are the best in a quarter century –

According to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S, of the 343 companies, or about 70%, of S&P 500 members that have reported earnings to date, 79.9% have reported earnings per share that were above analysts’ expectations, putting the season on track for the highest earnings beat rate on record, going back to 1994.

So far, the first-quarter growth rate for EPS is 22%, compared with consensus earnings growth of 16.3% as of April 12, according to Lindsey Bell, investment strategist at CFRA. That outperformance is underpinned by some of the most highly valued companies, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.50% Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.44% Facebook Inc. FB, -0.32% and Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, -0.36%

Bell said recent quarterly results have seen outperformance of about 3 to 4 percentage points better than analysts’ consensus estimates on average, compared with the 5.7 percentage points earnings are currently running ahead.

The figures are more bad news than good. We require $250,000 increase just to keep up with inflation. The expectation for 195,000 was based on the idea of a tightening albor market. The 235,000 figure suggests the tightening isn't a tight as we hoped. Wages are still the key issue, and not just for <$20/hr workers.

Inflation is irrelevant....We need 100,000 new jobs a month to absorb the young entering the job market........ :oyvey

The really good news is increase employment demand has enabled upward mobility and job opportunities. Most of us have figured out the best way to get a big raise is to switch jobs. Those staying in the same position, doing the same thing expecting a politician to command them more money are rather foolish. It's the individuals job to search and negotiate the best employment position, not the government's. Ignorance and helplessness has a price, some will continue to pay..
