    How soon you forget.

    President Barack Obama’s administration racked up nearly as much debt in eight years than in the entire 232-year history of the country before he took office. He entered with $10.6 trillion in total debt and left with the country owing $19.9 trillion. That’s an average tab of $1.16 trillion a year.

    Under President Donald Trump, the debt also has climbed. The $2.06 trillion increase works out to about $991 billion a year, or slightly less than the pace Obama had set.

    The Left wants to point out Trump's debt?

    Overlooked on economy? Rising paychecks for blue-collar workers are shrinking the wage gap

    Monthly reports on the number of new jobs and the unemployment rate can drown out important trends like these two: After four decades of worsening, wage inequality has started shrinking. And in a twist, America’s blue-collar workers are playing the biggest role in driving that reversal.

    This may come as a surprise, because education is classically seen as a ladder up the income scale. Despite blue-collar workers often lacking college degrees, their wages have been accelerating faster than those of their white-collar counterparts.

    For example: In the past three years, white-collar workers, the sector that the Bureau of Labor Statistics classifies as “Management, Professional, and Related Occupations” and which encompasses 40% of the workforce, have seen their wages grow by nearly 7.5%. During the same period, all other workers, a group composed almost entirely of noncollege grads, have seen their paychecks grow by about 10 percent.

    If you noticed, I posted what happened right after Trump's tax cut with Apple to what has happened right up to just a few months ago. Today we have one of the hottest economies on the planet. Blacks and Hispanics has seen the lowest unemployment in their history. More people working today than any time in our history. Wages going up and wage gap between blue and white collar workers closing.

    Trump is a criminal, his supposed accomplishments merely fabric covering the horror that is a deeply divided and dysfunctional America. But, hey, Putin likes it that way so... excellent!

    Trump's Policy "Magic Wand" Boosts Manufacturing Jobs 399% In First 26 Months Over Obama's Last 26 https://www.forbes.com/.../trumps-policy-magic-wand.../...


    We have some 300,000 fewer manufacturing jobs since President Barack Obama took office and 1.5 million jobs below the pre-recession level.

    https://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2015/08/23/the-part-time-economic-recovery


    Manufacturing jobs has slowed some, but part of that slowdown is with GM and other companies switching from gas engines to electric cars.

    If you look, I have two on this page from 2019. Here is more.

    The US added 266,000 new jobs in November boosted by the return to work of striking auto workers.

    Economists had expected job growth to 187,000 in November, up from 128,000 in October and boosted by the return to work of 48,000 GM workers following a 40-day strike.

    Manufacturing employment rose by 54,000 in November, following a decline of 43,000 in the prior month. Healthcare added 45,000 jobs.

    The impressive headline growth rate was compounded by upward revisions for earlier months. The labor department revised October’s jobs growth to 156,000, up from 128,000 originally and September’s was revised up to 193,000 from 180,000. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/dec/06/jobs-report-november-latest-gm-strike#img-1

    Of course, there were fewer manufacturing jobs in 2015 compared to before Obama took office, BECAUSE HE INHERITED THE GREAT RECESSION, thanks to another supply sider, GWB. There is no reason to debate your other cherry picked articles, to make Obama look bad, when you are apparently unable to debate the graph that I showed, which, btw, is from the Federal Reserve, so not some doctored propaganda.

    Obama's jobs were bad. Here, from your own bias news articles. You just don't want to believe the truth. Don't blame that crash in the economy all on Bush. Democrats were up to their neck helping to cause it.

    To:you Details
    Recovery Has Created Far More Low-Wage Jobs Than Better-Paid ...
    www.nytimes.com/2014/04/28/business/economy/...
    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.
    HTTPS://www.nytimes.com/…/recovery-has-created-far-more-low…



    77 percent of 2013 jobs were part-time positions ...
    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/2/part-timer-nation...
    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.

    Bull ****, you just don't like my answers. You keep thinking Obama was one of the best Presidents and Trump is just riding on his coat tails and you won't let that go no matter what your shown. Obama was a failure at everything he did.

    every economic metric has remained on the same unchanging upward trend line since 2010. To claim trump is responsible, would mean he would have to have a time machine to travel back to 2010.

    It's just reality. I realize that data and facts tend to clash with conservative ideology, but that doesn't make them go away. The facts remain this. Every economic metric has remained on the same unchanging trend line since 2010. NOTHING has changed under trump. This is demonstrable reality.

    That sounds good but it's just your opinion. Any opinion of the global recession that the left predicted? When does that happen? Is that when it magically becomes President Trump's? Speaking of facts and reality it's President Trump, not "Trump".

    As for as job growth, you might be right. But the big difference is the quality of jobs. The Left is great at pointing out that Obama's policies created 11-12 million jobs and had continued growth of 85? months. But what they constantly leave out is the quality of jobs his policies created. I have posted those jobs using Far Left news sources.

    Still can't address the FRED chart I posted, so you keep posting data that show that Obama inherited the great recession, and had to battle with the aftermath of it for most of his first term. I realize that GOP voters want to desperately forget that Obama actually was not president when the great recession started, but it was rather one of their own, GWB, after another failed supply-side trial. How often do we have to repeat these failures before GOP voters learn?

    Blue-collar jobs are growing at their fastest rate in more than 30 years, helping fuel a hiring boom in many small towns and rural areas that are strong supporters of President Trump ahead of November's mid-term elections.


    Jobs in goods-producing industries — mining, construction, and manufacturing — grew 3.3 percent in the year preceding July, the best rate since 1984, according to a Washington Post analysis.

    Blue collar jobs, long a small and shrinking part of the U.S. Economy, are now growing at a faster clip than those in America's much larger service economy. Many factors collided to produce the blue collar boom. Some are tied to short-term boom-and-bust cycles, but others may endure. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/msn/under-trump-the-jobs-boom-has-finally-
