What policies did Trump put in place that are responsible for increase in wages? Deregulation and tax reform, it's right there in the article. This stuff is actually pretty simple.

Are these increases responsible for your op? No, those are overall numbers. Minimum wage earners are a very small amount of the total workforce. These numbers are outstanding for the workforce, there's really no need to attempt to 'qualify' them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cdub100 3,447 Posted July 31, 2019 3 hours ago, peenie said: Did Trump just appear and suddenly wages went up? Yes, he used his "magic wand" and actually fought for american workers. You see when you stop allowing companies to use illegal aliens as slave labor, use the american buy power as leverage and tariffs to keep companies factories here in america, low corporate taxes keep companies money here in america etc., etc., etc., these things add up. Companies need people to operate so instead of sending those jobs over seas or bringing people here to work Americans are getting these jobs. That's why there is record unemployment for ALL Americans. ETA: Just a reminder the Main Stream Media said the economy would crash if Trump was elected. They called for a new great depression. The very next day after the election the stock market shot up, up, up. What you're seeing now is Trumps policies in action. Just think what could have been done if democrats didn't #resist these past few years.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
