To stop the gains from evaporating, don't elect a communist like Sanders who will crash the economy.

Leave it to the NY Slimes to find a dark cloud wherever there’s sunlight.

A big problem for conservatives in politics, even Trump, is that we offer an improved reality. They offer Utopia.

No matter the gains Trump can show, and everyone experiences either directly or in their extended family, the Democrats can always beat it with fantasy.

Interesting! I retired from heavy industry and worked in several capacities including Personnel Manager. Race was never a consideration for employment. Everyone in a job classification received the same, allowing for longevity. The pay incrementally increased with time of employment. So 10 years of experience paid more than a new hire. Race was never a factor.

after a decade of stagnation

And who was President for most of those low-wage years?

Barack Incompetent Obama, that's who.

Mmmm mmmm mmmm

[Da Coyote]

Yup, they’ve got to make sure there are “limitations”.

[bgill]

HAHAHA! Chick-Fil-A was keeping da man down. That’s as far as I got. Forced myself to read past the ridiculous headline. FAKE!

It didn’t take a decade of steady job growth. It took two plus years of trump

[CurlyDave]

I read the whole thing.

They went out of their way to point out every negative they could instead of letting anything good be attributed to DJT.

[17th Miss Regt]

Just three years ago, he was making $13,000 working in the kitchen at a Chick-fil-A, feeling unsure about his future. Landing the $38,000-a-year position was the latest step in a rapid career ascent made possible in part by America’s record-long economic expansion and low unemployment rate.

NYT: "But he feels adrift in his new found career. He knows that his place is with his friends back on the plantation where the government benefits will continue forever and where he will not be regarded as a traitor to his race - which he currently is. He is uncomfortable with his independence and fears that he may become overly proud of his achievements. Indeed, he does not want to become uppity, but rather seeks to know his place in society, which is back on the plantation. So his relative affluence comes with a terrible price, that of his racial self pride!"

This is not far from the NYT's real attitude...

[I want the USA back]

There is no way the nyt would ever have the decency to admit that Trump is the reason for the gains.

[txrefugee]

Why does the article dwell on the possibility of failure instead of future success for this young man? As long as Donald Trump is president his future is bright. The only worry should be if the Democrats regain power. They require a return to a growing victim classf, so that government can buy votes with borrowed money.

[eyeamok]

Not only did the gains take a decade of steady job growth to materialize, but they could evaporate at the first sign of economic weakness, as they did after previous expansions.

Sorry Pal, but the first 8 years were a planned decline by Obama and his Minions in favor of the New World Order and Globalism. The Economic Gains and Prosperity is ALL Because of Trump and has happened since he was elected, NOT before.

Maybe if they would take a look at what is outside the Democrat Plantation they would understand.

I remember when I got a $11,000 pay increase offer over my last job when I got a new job. I work at a helpdesk for internal support. Go here for salary info for various jobs.

I do not have any degree, just experience. The college degree cost too much for jobs like mine. You can learn most of what you need by looking on the internet.
