    Good news, although that comes with a risk of inflation when everyone is rich.

    Great news! Thanks Mr President and the GOP controlled Congress! Hopefully with Nancy back as speaker she won’t take us back to the double digit unemployment she gave us her last go around as speaker

    Jobless rate down to a 49 year low. 1969 - decades before the tech revolution.

    "Average hourly earnings probably rose by 0.2% during the month, enough to push up wages by 3% from a year earlier. At that level, workers' pay is rising faster than the current pace of inflation, about 2%."

    THE STREET, Jobless Rate Likely Held at 49-Year Low in October, Pushing Up Wages, BY Bradley Keoun, Nov 1, 2018 2:31 PM EDT.

    Shove your slander and update your information, Silly!

    Bloomberg:

    America turned into a net oil exporter last week, breaking almost 75 years of continued dependence on foreign oil and marking a pivotal — even if likely brief — moment toward what U.S. President Donald Trump has branded as “energy independence.”

    The shift to net exports is the dramatic result of an unprecedented boom in American oil production, with thousands of wells pumping from the Permian region of Texas and New Mexico to the Bakken in North Dakota to the Marcellus in Pennsylvania.​

    Sure, Jake, and as I have posted literally dozens of times, I put ALL of it -- good, bad, and indifferent on the FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM.

    Last year was the lowest jobs gains in 7 years, DOW gains have been wiped out and wages are stagnant against inflation. If you're calling that winning then you're too easily manipulated.
