Trump has been terrible for jobs, too!

@ElwoodBlues Trump 1st term driven by covid losses. I notice Biden numbers not in the chart at all ..
@BrandNewMan Sorry for the oversight!!

For the first time in literally GENERATIONS, real wages are growing for the lower quintile of US workers. And they're growing FASTER under Biden than they did under Obama or Trump. For the first time in GENERATIONS, the lower half of workers are sharing in our economic growth!



There are more than 5,000,000 (FIVE MILLION) more people employed now than during the peak under Trump. Just read the graph.


And the number unemployed is historically low!
@ElwoodBlues

Wages for everyone have grown over the last 50 yrs. The bottom is still the bottom .. but fewer of them over all as many have moved into the higher brackets.


Employable skills gap has hindered the last 10 yrs and is a growing impact. It is harder to do better relative to the top without skills/education.



National debt growth w Dems in charge 12 of the last 16 years


Interest costs on the debt under


Biden are likely to see debt servicing become one of if not the biggest budget line item and hinder economic growth, employment and significantly reduce what we can do in this country.

What we've been doing is not going to be able to continue. The bill for it is coming due over the next decade.

Your graph ignores inflation; mine compensates for it. That's what "real income" means. Look again.

For the first time in literally GENERATIONS, real wages are growing for the lower quintile of US workers. And they're growing FASTER under Biden than they did under Obama or Trump. For the first time in GENERATIONS, the lower half of workers are sharing in our economic growth!


BTW, lovely graph from 1979 to 2014, but it tells us NOTHING about Biden nor tRump.

@ElwoodBlues Roosevelt had the worst job numbers in history. His ONLY jobs program was WORLD WAR II.

@Reason10 he’s not in office

Roosevelt ... ONLY jobs program was WORLD WAR II.
DEAD WRONG!
The Works Progress Administration (WPA), the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the National Recovery Administration (NRA), the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), the Federal Writers' Project; ALL were jobs programs established under Roosevelt. And then there's projects like the Hoover Dam and the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Is this your way, @Reason10, of telling us you've never studied American history???
