"Crumbs", unemployment is as low as it can get. Wages are up, unless your a liberal activist working for a media company.
Wages are not up like they would want you to think.
The wages went up a slight above inflation and that was to be expected for this year, those were the crumbs.
Companies pocketed billions upon billions more then they gave in any increase wages.
Ask people you know how much their wages went up in the last year and and then ask if they are also having to spend more on necessities.
As for the Unemployment Rate what do you see below?
I see that Obama took over a bad Autopilot unemployment rate on its way up, but then he took it from 10% to 4.7%
And Trump took it over when it was on a great Autopilot.
I give Trump about 3/4 point % credit but that's it.
But he is about to give it all back and more.
