Real median household income has grown by $4,144 or 6.8 percent since President Trump took office, according to an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal.

This data is based on a report released by Sentier Research analyzing the Census Bureau’s monthly Current Population Survey.
As noted in the op-ed, authored by Stephen Moore, real median household income is at an all-time high:
“Real median household income—the amount earned by those in the very middle—hit $65,084 (in 2019 dollars) for the 12 months ending in July. That’s the highest level ever and a gain of $4,144, or 6.8%, since Mr. Trump took office. By comparison, during 7½ years under President Obama—starting from the end of the recession in June 2009 through January 2017—the median household income rose by only about $1,000.”
The below chart highlights the strong Trump wage growth.

Four years after he won the Midwest by vowing to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing workforce, President Donald Trump is campaigning for reelection on a job well done. The numbers tell a different story.

Trump’s anti-trade agenda and a pandemic-induced recession have combined to shutter factories and accelerate decades-old trends toward automation, eliminating hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs, many for good, including in the Rust Belt states he needs to win in November.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/16/trump-manufacturing-jobs-record-415588

Donald Trump: In manufacturing, "I brought back 700,000 jobs. (Obama and Biden) brought back nothing."

PolitiFact’s ruling: False

Here’s why: Reaching back to one of his core agenda issues from the 2016 presidential campaign, President Donald Trump touted his record on manufacturing jobs during the first presidential debate in Cleveland.

Referring to the manufacturing sector, Trump said, "I brought back 700,000 jobs." By contrast, Trump said, under President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, Trump’s 2020 opponent, "They brought back nothing."

Trump is exaggerating gains on his own watch, even before the coronavirus pandemic, and he’s offering a misleading assessment of what happened during the Obama administration.
https://eu.statesman.com/story/news...ufacturing-job-gains-during-debate/114197350/

While the Trump administration has claimed that the era of U.S. offshoring is “over,” the reality is that the United States has not begun to address the root causes of America’s growing trade deficits and the decline of American manufacturing. Decades of trade, currency, and tax policies that incentivized offshoring, combined with an utter failure to invest adequately in infrastructure and good jobs at home, have contributed to growing inequality and an eroding middle class.

President Trump’s erratic, ego-driven, and inconsistent trade policies have not achieved any measurable progress, despite the newly combative rhetoric. On top of that, COVID-19—and the administration’s mismanagement of the crisis—has wiped out much of the last decade’s job gains in U.S. manufacturing.

The claims of the left from 2016, the fear mongering came true?

Not even close.

But here we are, the left fear mongering again AFTER A being proven wrong the first time.

Some of you need to start being more analytical and a bit less emotional.

 

I have no doubt Trump exaggerated his numbers of jobs his policies helped create and gave no credit to Obama and Biden. As I showed by the graft, the bias news reports on Trump were over 92% negative. They gave him no credit for anything.

Off shoring is a big problem and so is automation. Another was the very bad trades America made down through the years which was one of the first things Trump tried to fix by renegotiating trade treaties and encouraging foreign factories to relocate in America. He also cut taxes to encourage companies to bring their factories and off shore money home.

Trump went after bad trades and he knew how vital our steel industry was. It helped us win WWII and our steel companies were going out of business at an alarming rate and he tried to fix that through new trade agreements and tariffs.

I believe that number was based on a study conducted by the conservative Media Research Center. Making it questionable. However, there were so many negatives to report on I can see how the number might be accurate. His campaign began with lies about Obama's citizenship, followed by calls to Russia to find dirt on Hillary, followed by lies about the size of the inaugural crowd, followed by Mike Flynn being fired, followed by Comey being fired............get the picture?

 

Look beyond the economy juiced by a budget busting tax cut and a deregulatory regime that we paid a price for with respect to the environment.

In justifying many of the rollbacks, the agencies said that previous administrations had overstepped their legal authority, imposing unnecessary and burdensome regulations that hurt business.

“We have fulfilled President Trump’s promises to provide certainty for states, tribes, and local governments,” a spokeswoman for the E.P.A. said in a statement to The Times, adding that it was “delivering on President Trump’s commitment to return the agency to its core mission: Providing cleaner air, water and land to the American people.”

But environmental groups and legal analysts said the rollbacks have not served that mission.

All told, the Trump administration’s deregulatory actions were estimated to significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade and lead to thousands of extra deaths from poor air quality each year.

Then consider all the other negatives for the country. The ones that lead to the voters overwhelmingly rejecting his presidency. The divisiveness, the nod to despots and white supremacists, the corruption of the SC, ending the Iran nuclear agreement, botching the response to COVID, the incompetent people he surrounded himself with, the gutting of the State Dept, far too many to list.

 

Obama's economy busting regulations and tax hikes were killing America and American jobs. Most of all of Obama's 10 million jobs were in the low paying service industry. Which most had little to no benefits and were part time. We were heading to be a third world nation.

Apr 27, 2014 · Economy Recovery Has Created Far More Low-Wage Jobs Than Better-Paid Ones
How good were the 10.9 million jobs under Obama?
Money.CNN.com/2016/11/04/news/economy/jobs-under-obama/...
Nov 03, 2016 · CNNMoney breaks down what kinds of jobs have been created and ... Almost all of the job gains under President Obama have been in so-called service jobs,

The deep recession wiped out primarily high-wage and middle-wage jobs. Yet the strongest employment growth during the sluggish recovery has been in low-wage work, at places like strip malls and fast-food restaurants.

In essence, the poor economy has replaced good jobs with bad ones. That is the conclusion of a new report from the National Employment Law Project, a research and advocacy group, analyzing employment trends four years into the recovery.

“Fast food is driving the bulk of the job growth at the low end — the job gains there are absolutely phenomenal,” said Michael Evangelist, the report’s author. “If this is the reality — if these jobs are here to stay and are going to be making up a considerable part of the economy — the question is, how do we make them better?”

The report shows that total employment has finally surpassed its pre-recession level. “The good news is we’re back to zero,” Mr. Evangelist said.

But job losses and gains have been skewed. Higher-wage industries — like accounting and legal work — shed 3.6 million positions during the recession and have added only 2.6 million positions during the recovery. But lower-wage industries lost two million jobs, then added 3.8 million.

Aug 02, 2013 · Fully 77 percent of positions added to the market in 2013 have been part-time, in contrast to the positive economic news making the media rounds, according to payroll reports released in recent weeks.
"There are now 1.2 million fewer jobs in mid- and higher-wage industries than there were before the Great Recession, according to data from the National Employment Law Project. In contrast, there are 2.3 million more jobs in lower-wage sectors than before the recession," according to CNBC. Nor is there the hoped-for renaissance in American manufacturing. We have some 300,000 fewer manufacturing jobs since President Barack Obama took office and 1.5 million jobs below the pre-recession level.

Tell me Lee, how does America compete with record breaking regulations and tax hikes, mostly part time and service jobs that mostly don't pay benefits? Most of those jobs wouldn't support an individual, much less a family. We were heading to be a second class nation.

 

Statistically, by almost every metric... yes.

But I'm sure you're one of those people that uses the pandemic to draw your conclusions.

Care to name any metric pre-pandemic that was worse?
