Because, you know he will....

This week we got news on the U.S. job market, and it confirms the recent trends: American workers are doing better than they have at any point since the 2008 crash and the Great Recession. 
 The number of first-time unemployment claims fell this week to the lowest amount since 1973. Considering that the population and the labor force are more than 50 percent higher than they were in the 1970s, that’s even more impressive. The number of Americans filing continuing unemployment claims likewise dropped to a 16-year low.
 What about wages? We previously learned that, as of September, weekly earnings—adjusted for inflation—of production and non-supervisory workers https://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/2016/10/21/five-decades-of-middle-class-wages-september-2016-update.pdf">reached a high not seen since the last months of the Carter administration.

The very newest data from this week told us that average hourly wages increased year over year by 2.8 percent, while another measure—one that tracks what individuals earn over time, and thus is not subject to demographic changes such as disproportionately more people who are earning higher incomes retiring as the workforce ages—showed wage growth going up by 3.9 percent year over year.
