These are prosperous times in America. The country is plump with jobs. Out of every 100 people who want to work, more than 96 of them have jobs. This is what economists consider full employment.
The economy has grown for almost 10 years, making it one of the longest economic expansions in U.S. history. And over that time, the job market has come back. It grew slowly at first, then steadily, finally reaching a point at which there are many more openings than job seekers.
Unemployment has reached . The jobless rate for Hispanics has never been lower; the past two years have been the best job market ever for African Americans. Wages are starting to rise — and, more significantly, for the lowest-paid workers. That may not endure, but it‘s a reversal of the long-term trend where the most highly paid workers were also the best rewarded. The job market today is so hot that groups that were sort of on the margins also are finding opportunities — including people with disabilities or a prison record.

Wait until we hit rough times again, these soft , in debt , brats won’t know what to do.
Democrats?
Because Trump is president. These hypocrites know no bounds to their insane vitriol against our president.
Because I am disabled.
I’m celebrating every time I see cars and trucks and trains and airplanes and construction sites just a-hoppin’ like I’ve never seen.
That’s commerce — the envy of the world.
Fixing our roads etc with some of that dividend would be nice! While the iron is hot.
We are full employment at a time when you can get disability for being left-handed, and collect two more checks for the household if your momma is obese and your kid blinks too much. We are at full employment for people who choose to work. When my alarm goes off tomorrow morning, I will wonder all over again why I even bother.
America succeeding means liberals can’t point to our betters in Canada and Europe for the path to Utopia.
Who says Americans are not celebrating?
I like when the trains are running.
Sounds like Freedom.

When a business owner of Trump’s intellect and experience is Pres we are better off then with some political pimp’s son or a grade B movie actor.
We need a President and most all Congress critters should have a BS in ECON, a BSBA or an MBA. We have had our share of LAWYERS. What is the first thing most attorneys tell you? I hear -I charge 275 bucks an hour or more. Businessmen use Admin Policy Formulation and Accounting. No more damn Lawyers
please.
wages need to rise another 40% to get back to historical norms so there is only modest reason to celebrate
Because Trump.
Because we’re still catching up to where we should have been. There is a _lot_ of work to be done in this country.
Even the nitwits who always without fail support the Demagogic Party know it, despite the collusion by the partisan media shills to not cover it, but want it to fail.
>>>I like when the trains are running. Sounds like Freedom.
But there are fewer running today than there were a year ago.

Because the enemy within hates it when America does well.
Very high debt is choking off the good vibs...
Working but being a debt slave is depressing.
