if we were truly in full employment wages would be going up as employers compete for scarce labor and Clinton would have won in a landslide. Instead you have a total collapse with states like MI going from +8 dem to +1 GoP and WI going from +7 dem to +1 gop. 8-9 point swings. Iowa went from +5 dem to +10 gop. a 15 point swing.
when democrats say we are at full employment and people dont believe them its not because they have any particular distrust of the media. Its because there are certain things that should come with full employement that they do not see.
No one is arguing that it was a strong recovery. But the premise of the thread is that Americans are winning "again" - as though we haven't been growing steadily.
Is growth more robust now, in Trump's 1st 6 months? Were Americans winning "again" when the economy started growing after the crash under Obama?
