The headline "U.S. June real earnings unchanged" is typical for a Reuters press release. If the president had been a Democrat with this data, the headline would have been: "U.S. June earnings show continued robust growth!" with quotes from all the hacks about how the economy and the welfare of the little guy is the strong suit of the dem prez.

But hey, this report is good news in addition to what we already have-- let's leave it at that.

If there was a hugh jump the headline would have been:

"US economy moves ahead, leaving many women and minorities behind".
