American Workers Just Got a Pay Cut in Economy Trump Calls Great


Recommended Posts

U.S. average hourly earnings adjusted for inflation fell 0.2 percent in July from a year earlier, data released on Friday showed, notching the lowest reading since 2012. While inflation isn’t high in historical terms, after years of being too low following the 2007-2009 recession, its recent gains are taking a bigger bite out of U.S. paychecks.

“Inflation has been climbing and wage growth, meanwhile, has been flat as a pancake,” said Laura Rosner, senior economist at MacroPolicy Perspectives LLC in New York. “In a very tight labor market you would expect that workers would negotiate their wages to at least keep up with the cost of living, and the picture tells you that they’re not.”

That's weird. We are having a fantastic year.  Not the best ever but it will probably end up being the best in the last 10 if it continues.

We are in Canada, the Country the Trump is attacking with tariffs.  We have a Drama teacher for a leader and yet our unemployment is at a 40 year low.  How can we be doing this without Trump on our side?

All new orders are getting pushed into next year.  Can't commit  to year end deliveries with the current backlog.

2005 was a stellar year.  We lost two major accounts after that.  

Then 2015 we lost our biggest account. It came out of nowhere but we are rebuilding.  This year is looking great though, thanks for asking.

Well, the quote is obviously of someone who has never worked a fucking day in her life. Also, we all fucking know for a fact that workers don't control wages, and the macroeconomic numbers prove that.
