Excellent News!! Wages will start heading the opposite direction soon....
You never read the fine print ?
The estate tax and capital gains tax both went up
to cover these 'new jobs'.
cover? Do you mean create?

"You leftists" .

Means nothing to me.
More the pity....You think you are normal.... :oyvey
Your wife thinks I'm normal.
( At least not below average like she said you were )

Not a chance A hole....She's not that desperate.... :lol:
Well, from the calmness level of your replies and syi's, I'm guessing she's probably about your 3rd wife, and judging by your venomous resentment toward all things left, your first two ran off with the kids and left you with all the bills while they turned lesbo and live together with their musician boyfriends buying weed and beer with your kids child support money getting Obamacare free and $1000 a month in food stamps. Right ?
Well....Your wrong....

So....Now member's families are fair game _g R_?

That's really low....Even from you....I don't play that game....Grow up....And get out of the gutter....

Wages have risen only slowly in recent months. The average hourly earnings of nonfarm employees stood at $26.82 in March, up from $26.11 at the same time last year.


By the standard calculation, the minimum wage should be above $15. If the average is $26, you can't live on $7.
And in many areas where significant numbers of manufacturing jobs left, often times people are working for 2 or 3 different companies, blue collar unskilled labor usually all part time jobs with no benefits in retail or the food industry.

Back in the real world, "Record-low unemployment" translates to record number of pissed off folks still waiting for the American Dream to trickle down on them.

At this point any left unemployed are not employable.

The thing about the left is they will never admit that some are unemployable and some just don't want to work....

The original point was that 14 states have record low unemployment numbers. If Trump can keep this trend going we still have 36 more states to go...his unemployment numbers need more work for those 36 states.

Excellent news but we still have a way to go. If the dems don't sabotage the Trump economy we will undoubtedly fix the remaining problems. We still need to renegotiate our trade deals and evict the millions of illegal workers driving down unskilled wage rates. A workable guest worker program would be a big plus.

Are these the same unemployment statistics that Trump denounced during the election?
Yes. He is taking credit for them now, citing his fabulous tax cuts and exciting new plan to run the United States government on a trillion dollars of borrowed money every year from 2021 on. The man is a genius and the record of the Trump Organization proves it. No wonder he won't show us his taxes. If everybody knew what Trump knows, we would all be billionaires too.

Trump is not a billionaire.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/20/politics/trump-forbes-400-list-cnntv/index.html

Washington (CNN)A former Forbes reporter claims that Donald Trump, before he was president, pretended to be a Trump Organization executive speaking on Trump's behalf and then lied about his wealth in order to crack the Forbes 400 list.

"He figured out what he had to do in order to deceive me and get onto that list. And he did it very well. And he maintained that persona of just sort of talking about his assets without any sense of debt and lying about it," Jonathan Greenberg said in an interview Friday on CNN's "New Day."

Greenberg broke the news in a Washington Post story. He wrote that when he was compiling the magazine's list of the richest people in America in the 80s, Trump had called him posing as "John Barron," a purported executive with The Trump Organization.

Calling you a-hole doesn't drag family into it. That's the line you crossed.

By importing cheap labor from Mexico? STFU, nobody's buying your lies anymore!
So it appears this "imported" labor you are so focused on is not really impacting Americans working since ... we have record low unemployment

Imagine that.

So importing millions of unskilled workers willing to work for minimum wage isn't driving down the wage rate? Are you really that naïve? Besides, they cost us 115 million dollars a year in healthcare, education and other expenses.

When you compare the net benefit with the net costs, they actually make us money. The Right likes to only look at the cost side while ignoring the "profit" or benefit side. By that accounting rule, all businesses lose money.

It is true that by fulfilling a scarcity of jobs that wages for those jobs are kept lower. They do not depress all wages since they do not impact many jobs in the country for which they are unqualified. They also keep the costs we pay for the benefits of these jobs at al lower level which is why inflation has been almost non-existent and people can afford to do more.

The real killer of wage increases is the anti-labor movement by the Republican Right.

Completely wrong, when you factor in healthcare costs, education costs, enforcement costs and incarceration costs the estimates are close to 115 billion/year. Add in lower wages and the money sent back to Mexico and other countries and it's probably a lot higher.

I asked this question in another thread, how does an illegal family get and PAY for their healthcare?
