In President Donald J. Trump’s first five months in office, real wages for hourly workers have seen their largest increase under any administration in nearly 60 years — and we’re just getting started with pro-growth, pro-prosperity policies that finally put America First.
Blue-collar workers have seen real wages grow almost two percent in the first five months of President Trump’s second term — a stark contrast from the negative wage growth seen during the first five months of the Biden Administration.
“The only other time it has been this high … was during President Trump’s first term,” Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said in an interview with the New York Post.
The New York Post notes: “Since Richard Nixon in 1969, Trump has been the only president to record positive growth for blue-collar workers in his first five months. He also achieved 1.3% in his first term … The recovery from a 1.7% decline recorded in Biden’s first five months, as inflation outpaced earnings, suggests a shift in economic conditions for this financially stressed segment of the workforce.”
The Establishment loves them some cheapy labors. Faux is Establishment as it gets. Fake poll.
That’s a beautiful graphic!
TRUST TRUMP. And yet the panikans still doubt
Statistics can be so bogus. I don’t care this time. Put it out there and let it go through a couple of news cycles.
“Undocumented workers found living in warehouse storing US Navy submarine parts”
“SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The general manager of a South Bay industrial coatings company pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to hiring undocumented immigrants, some of whom were living in a company warehouse where United States Navy submarine components were being stored.
According to United States Attorney’s Office, 57-year-old John Washburn, the general manager of San Diego Powder & Protective Coatings in El Cajon, admitted to knowingly employing at least 10 undocumented workers. Federal prosecutors said three of those workers were also residing inside a company-owned warehouse that house sensitive military equipmnet.”
“Sensitive” equipment.
Also, do you know how many Americans would have loved to have had those jobs? At decent pay rates of course. This employer had slaves, not employees.
Oh, and his sentence?
“Washburn entered his guilty plea before U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara L. Major and was immediately sentenced to one year probation and 50 hours of community service.”
I was not working under this last term of this president. My wages were poor & getting poorer. I retired before he took office, but would like to have seen what this term would have meant for my wages. They could have improved considerably.
