  1. Your teacher is correct. Unemployment is down and demand for labor is up. That means higher wages. Trump's economy is strong. There are many places of employment that can't hire enough people right now and as a result they have to raise wages to attract new employees. Bernie had nothing to do with it.

  2. Don P, I seen those videos. They are cherry picked stories and don't represent the truth. Bernie is a corrupt, career politician that lies to push his ideas.

  3. Ch33tos Sesh, let us go through the numbers 1. When Obama took over the economy was losing jobs. So it makes sense jobs were gained, the bar was low. 2. Same thing, the bar was low. 3. Stocks rose higher under Trump. Also, this was a part of easy monetary policy set by the Fed. 4. Premiums rose slowly due to a bad economy. Also, saying less are uninsured is a fallacy as people were forced to buy insurance. 5. Republicans took over the House to lower the deficit 6. This is good? 7. When you change the definition you get higher results 8. This was the trend to begin with 9. Ok, and? 10. the murder rate was dropping to begin with Under Trump we are seeing higher interest rates, GDP growth, higher consumption, a decline in initial claims, stagnate worker participation rate when it was dropping for years. Fact is things are better under Trump.

  4. This is in response to the strong economy. $15/hr is the norm anyway. That is how much new employees were paid to begin with. So I don't see a big deal. Bernie had nothing to do with it. Unemployment is down but demand for labor is up. That means higher wages.

  5. He didn't do anything. Unemployment is down and demand for labor is up. That means higher wages. Welcome to Trump's economy.

  6. I watched the video. I also understand economics. I understand wages are going up all over and there is a shortage of workers. High demand and low supply equals high prices. We are seeing that with labor right now.

  7. I seen those videos, they are cherry picked and dramatized. I worked at a fulfillment center for Amazon. It wasn't bad. People who work there do not even have to graduate high school to work there. Think about the type of people that work there. They could not even finish high school. What makes you think they know how to work hard?

  8. John, wages have arguably met productivity demand. There are several stats to support that argument.
