    Job growth doesn’t mean shit if it’s not accompanied by wage growth. They keep talking job numbers as if that alone pays the bills.

      From the article

      Regarding wages, average hourly earnings were higher than expected as well, rising 0.4% on the month and 4.1% from a year ago. The respective estimates were for increases of 0.3% and 3.9%.

      Yes and Trump’s

      who do you think worked as one of the politicians who got us here?

      who do you think one of the donors has been throughout the years to all these politicians?

      Biden and Trump both benefit from wages being low and worker’s rights stripped
