What kind of jobs? And how many of'em. This economy is not working for so many of us. Those rising stock markets aren't helping the regular hard working folk out there.

Yeah, we need more of those Amazon and Walmart warehouse jobs.

There middle class has seen no wage increase in over 30 years as everything that the middle class has worked for is undone.

$trillions of wealth have been transferred to the top 1% under Clinton-Bush-Obama.

Clinton offers more of the same. Make your choice.

Plenty of "regular hard working folk" have 401K plans at work, and yes, the stock market has a big impact on them and their ability to save for retirement.

401ks are a joke, they do help you save, but they are a joke

Information Technology, Professional services, Transporation and Energy, Marketing, and yes the Service industry.

The U.S. has now posted 65 consecutive months of uninterrupted jobs gains; in all but eight of those months, payrolls have exceeded 100,000, the total necessary to keep pace with population growth. In that span, the unemployment rate has fallen from 9.5 percent.
“Look at new car sales. Look at the fact that more people are entering the labor market. They’re buying homes. They’re going out to dinner,” Department of Labor Secretary Thomas Perez said in an interview. “These are all indicators of an economy that continues to move in the right direction and weather the headwinds.”
I feel for the people who are not qualified to find a good job, but it isn't all our fault nor the governments. Blame the people who use to live in clay huts in China and India for wanting more for themselves and the Donald Trump's of the world for taking advantage of it.

No it's not your fault, but we have to do what's best for our country as a whole, not just a privileged minority

Really? And I thought Bernie wanted to help the middle class, and yet here you are apparently wanting to tear it down.

Wrong. NAFTA and free money for mega-corporations (sponsored by the Feds), is designed to allow access to slave labor. Without these gifts from Clinton-Obama, it would not be economically possible. Noneof this is an accident. It is planned, lobbied for, and paid for by the Billionaire Class who reap the rewards and in return reward their political lackies like Clinton and Obama. Your candidate of choice is a traitor.

I guess those good ol" Establishment policies are working for her supporters. Establishment candidates are a bunch of double talkers. She's the best double talker.
She's not even a "great pick of her own nose" imo.

If she didn't run other dems imo would have ran.
