Markets wondering if we’ve basically reached full employment, where worker shortages will start to elevate wages.

But the other day, Nancy Pelosi bemoaned the lack of jobs. She said, what have the Republicans and Trump done to create jobs? Where are the jobs, she asked?????

What is the GOP doing with their power controlling the White House and both ends of Congress, Nancy asked??? The American people want to see jobs, she said.

Does she live in a delusional world???

>wages going up?

Yes, we are starting to see wages go up.

“In March, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 5 cents to $26.14, following a 7-cent increase in February.”

So, they’re continuing to use the old phony system of calculating those figures...I’m disappointed.

YES, Pelosi does live in her own world of delusion.

However, I want to see the weekly numbers released on Thursday-—like they were before Obama’s last 2 years— of the NEW unemployment claims. That number is just as important as the new jobs for the month.

Until Obama, those numbers were released & publicized every single Thursday——waaaay back.

I was on Twitter and according to the Liberals there Obama’s Policies are (finally) kicking in. I added the “finally”.

Nothing to do with Trump and the historical rise in Business and Consumer confidence.

It’s just a coincidence that this happened after President Trumps Election. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
