I was referring to the 20,000 higher paying jobs per month. Where are those coming from?

The economy is generating 150,000-200,000 jobs per month. The expansion is broad based.

Which fact do you dispute? That more Americans are employed today than at any other time in history? Or that Americans are wealthier today than at any time in history?

That is up to debate. There are more Americans now than any other time. We once only needed 1 parent to work in the economy to survive. Now alot of families have 2 bread winners. A Conservative view would like to have only one parent working while the other takes care of the kids.

Also, what do you mean by wealth? DVD's? We also have more debt than any other time. It is a interesting debate on our current economy as opposed to the past.

No, your claim that all those new jobs are better paying than the ones they replace. The BLS statistice someone posted earlier show that on average they pay about half the salary that the Whirlpool workers made.

Or that certain Americans are wealthier today than at any time in history? The rest of Americans are seeing their wages deflate due to illegal immigrant labor.
