I am hesitant to put a lot of stock into unemployment data. As I understand it, the methods they use to determine the unemployment rate under-represent the reality - for example not counting the under employed (those working part time hoping for full time) and does not count those who are not actively seeking work through a gov endorsed employment agency.
But as someone who floats through jobs on a regular basis - I love being a temp employee - things have gotten significantly better in the last 2-3 years. Most temp jobs have increased the starting wage by 2-3 dollars an hour, employers are offering permanent jobs much more frequently, and I am able to negotiate hours/pay with much more leverage.
For those who think Trump is not a factor in the current job situation, the company I am currently at has debated for the last 3 years on an expansion. Once Trump was elected it was a go and we moved into a new building less than 1 month ago. For this particular business, Trump was a significant factor in their taking the risk of new loans.
Hate him or love him, his positions on many job related issues seems to be a positive for both company and worker, at least from my perspective as someone who works temp jobs.
NO sorry,
We have seen the same BULLSHIT bait and switch failed trickle down since Reagan.
It is nothing but shallow feel good short term SHIT! It makes workers feel good SHORT TERM, it is great for investors, that bet on Wall Street like gambling addicts. It still remains LONG TERM it is a policy of letting the rich use everyone else as their poker chips.
45 is only good for pandering hate, and sucking the dicks of Goldman Sachs and Exxon execs. The bottom 99% will pay in the end. 45 and today's GOP will make the Bush Jr crash look like a boom.
