The March report on employment from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows non-farm payrolls increasing by 178,000 jobs. This exceeded expert predictions of a 60,000 increase. Since Trump's inauguration in January of 2025 the US private sector has added 609,000 jobs. Average hourly wages are 3.5% higher than a year ago. During the Biden Administration annual blue-collar wages declined by $1,703. In the past year these wages have risen by $1,186. The annual inflation rate that peaked at over 6% during the middle years of Biden's term have fallen to 2.5% in the first year of Trump's current term.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) complained that "while private enterprise has seen upticks in wages and profits, public sector employees haven't been as fortunate. The number of federal jobs has declined by more than 350,000. Thousands of long-term public servants have been forced out of what used to be secure high-paying jobs and into the private sector where employers insist that employees' outputs must be worth more than what it costs the company to pay them. This is cruel and unusual punishment."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) seconded Schumer's observation and added "the fate of those on welfare is similarly bleak. New rules for the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) program are preventing beneficiaries from purchasing soda, candy, and potato chips with their monthly EBT cards. These are sacrifices that those fortunate enough to be able to work for a living are not being asked to make. It's making these folks feel like second-class citizens. The rules need to be the same for everyone. If soda, candy, and chips are unhealthy for those who depend on government benefits they must be just as unhealthy for those who work. To be fair, those who can't afford to buy them shouldn't be deprived. At least they've got Medicaid to subsidize the diabetes, cancer, and heart attacks junk food gives them."

Sure beats their boy, Pedophile Joe and Kamballer Harris’s Jamaican crap.
This like walking into someone’s house and turning over furniture and breaking the dishes then complain what a messy place they have.
