Normally, when UE gets to 4%, it rockets back up.

That isn't happening.

As a result, real wages are finally increasing.


Most of those links did not really support a positive outlook, and even when positive, no where near what trump is selling.

Are you avoiding the Dow 25K thread b/c it proved your ideas wrong so many times ?

I really don't think you have the intelligence to comment. You look at one indicator, typically one that is a leading indicator of a bubble economy about to burst and extrapolate that the overall economy is doing great. The warning signs are flashing, the deficit is ballooning, the massive transfer of wealth has done nothing for the economy, job growth is stagnating, wages are flat, and the the idiot in the WH has absolutely no idea what he is doing and yet you still support this moron and his idiotic no-plan fuble along pretending all is well. It's truly sad, sad, sad.

I don't know what you or your friends do, but I'm in industrial maintenance and we can't keep people because they keep getting picked off by other companies.

One was only on an upward trend because the numbers in 2017 fell so low.

It's the best Trump's tariffs can do.

It's a global economy we're in. When other major economies are contracting, it can't be of much help to our own.

On a positive note, existing home sales were up....
The fed doesn't want to raise interest rates. Maybe not doing that will prevent a recession, despite the bad yield curve recession indicator. How are other indicators doing that forecast recessions?

It's amazing how easily some people forgive Bush II for being there for two recessions and an unnecessary war in Iraq.

Wages have increased but middle class wages are still stagnant, some of the lower percentiles have increased because of the dreaded elevation of the minimum wage. The middle class continues to be left behind but the top income brackets are doing fabulously.
