Trumponomics is rolling again!


Yes, according to several reports from June 2025, blue-collar workers in the United States have experienced a significant increase in real wages, with some sources claiming the largest growth in nearly 60 years.
Key Points:
  • Significant Wage Growth: Real wages for hourly workers have increased by nearly two percent in the first five months of President Trump's second term.
  • Historical Context: This increase is reported to be the largest increase for this group of workers under any administration dating back to 1968.
  • Comparison to Previous Administrations: This growth is highlighted as a stark contrast to the negative wage growth seen during the first five months of the Biden administration.
  • Previous High: The only other time this level of growth has been matched was during President Trump's first term.
  • Sources: These findings are based on data from the US Department of the Treasury and are reported by news outlets such as the New York Post and Fox Business

According to the BLS.

Here's a summary of the situation regarding wage increases in June 2025, based on the provided information:
Key Points:
  • Year-over-year average hourly earnings increased to 3.9% in May 2025, indicating a tick up in wage growth after declining earlier in the year. This is above consensus expectations.
  • "Real" average hourly earnings, which adjust for inflation, increased by 1.4% between May 2024 and May 2025. This means that wages were keeping up with inflation, but consumers may still be feeling the pressure of higher prices.
  • Wage growth in the past year (May 2024 - May 2025) was 1.4% higher than the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation, marking the 25th consecutive month in which wages outpaced inflation over the prior year.
  • The June 2025 jobs report showed a labor market that remains tight, with average hourly earnings rising 3.8% year-over-year.
  • Blue-collar wage growth saw a significant increase in the first five months of the current administration, according to a White House statement.
  • Several states and jurisdictions are implementing minimum wage increases on July 1, 2025.

Can't wait to see the June numbers; with so much going on, should be intriguing....

Notice how quickly Canada rescinded its attempt to hit US companies with the digital tax??

All Trump had to do was STOP TALKING TO THEM...

And the leftninnies keep telling themselves that he's failing and ridiculed, when everyone sees the entire world lining up to work with him.

Can't wait to watch all the left skulls exploding when he is awarded the Nobel for Peace....it will be epic!

Whenever Grok posts a cheerleader for Trump thread, you can rest assured that 9 out of 10 times the sources are solid right wing/maga rags owned by Murdock. And as always, I take great delight in shedding some fact based analysis and logic light on this MAGA fog:



Claiming a historic gain in blue-collar wage growth, Trump shows how to use statistics to mislead​


A really strong economy was handed off to the Trump administration, and so far, it has mostly held.
