Imagine what wages would be without 22 million illegals here?  (minus the non working age kids of course.)

If liberals REALLY cared about wages they would be on Trump's side regarding immigration.   That alone is proof they don't care.

 new jobs report beat expectations yet again, AND a new report shows that wages are finally trending upward after years of stagnation!

Watch below:

 

More from USA Today:

The economy added a healthy 250,000 jobs in October, the Labor Department said Friday in the last employment report before midterm elections that President Trump has cast as a critical referendum on his stewardship of the economy.

The unemployment rate was unchanged at a near 50-year low of 3.7 percent. Annual wage growth topped 3 percent for the first time in nine years.

Economists had estimated 200,000 jobs were added last month, according to a Bloomberg survey.


CNBC also reports on wages going up:

 

More from USA Today:

Average hourly earnings rose 5 cents to $27.30, pushing the annual gain to 3.1 percent, strongest since April 2009, from 2.8 percent in September.

But there’s a caveat. Average pay in October 2017 was particularly weak, likely inflating the yearly increase. More broadly, pay increases are gradually picking up as employers struggle to find workers. That could prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates more rapidly to head off a potential spike in inflation.

That is just tremendous. There has never been a president to preside over a better economy ever – this isn’t me, you understand, this is experts. Experts tell me this, and they’re saying it everywhere, even the people who hate me have to admit it now. Tremendous!!

And it’s just in time for the midterm elections…

unlike obama, trump was handed a nice running corvette when he took over. there are tons of factual data to prove that, so save the BS responses. as long as he keeps it on the road...but i fear he won't. he'll be looking at himself in the mirror, adjusting his hairpiece, applying orange crayon and run off the road.

Democrats:  You don't cut taxes when the economy is good because you need that to boost growth when things slow down.

Also Democrats:  Tax increase spur economic growth.

Also Democrats:  Tax cuts hurt economic growth.

 

Jesus I wish they would make up their mind already.  :lol:  

The mere fact the economy has continued to strengthen even with sharply rising interest rates AND quantitative tightening is proof the tax cuts and optimism Trump brought is working.

So Obama filled a 5 gallon gas can with 5 gallons of gas.

I like Trump's trick of putting 8 gallons in it. HA!

In an interview that aired Sunday on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," the show host cited a recent study from the University of California, Berkeley, that found 95% of income gains from 2009 to 2012 went to the top 1% of the earning population.

again pretty much every small business and every sub contractor every contractor _ every one who works under contracts is a corperation.  you get that when you talk about corporate America don't you?  so yes a massive swath of America benefited from the tax cuts  . you know the people who actually pay tax
