Right now I'm not getting any piece of this economic growth. I'm still averaging less than mimimum wage carting blue-hairs to the airport. I need to hurry and get this Cisco Certification. I hope Trump grows the IT job market too, and not just the redneck jobs.

The cited article states "Pay and benefits for all U.S. workers increased 2.8 percent in the April-June quarter from a year earlier" which certainly seems like an average. Let's see the average for the everyday working man/woman without CEO salaries and benefits tipping the average upward.
The guy at the bottom gets his raise when Democrats and establishment Republicans can't provide immigrant/guest workers and the sort of one-sided free trade arrangements that crush worker's earnings.
This is beginning to happen now because more jobs are available than workers to fill them.
This is hilarious. Wages and benefits have been depressed so long that any tiny spike looks like a gift.
yet you voted for the same one who continued horrible economic policies.

It's about the economists who understand simple economics. You're not an economist so you shouldn't comment. It's fun to use the same garbage on you that you use on others.

You guys have cried after EVERY DAMN MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE and said that it’ll crash the economy. Now you’re singing a different effin tune when it doesn’t turn out to be true.
You made this up. What it does do is hurt some of those already on minimum wage.

Way to go Burdy. Granted you may have blindly swung and hit something but it still counts as a hit in the boxscore.
What's better "pay", $12 an hour with no benefits or $11 an hour with free healthcare?
