Jobs growth soars in November as payrolls surge by 266,000
Dec 6 2019

Nonfarm payrolls surged by 266,000 in November, better than the 187,000 expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.

The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5% from 3.6%, back to the 2019 low and matching the lowest jobless rate since 1969.

The end of the GM strike had a big effect, boosting employment in motor vehicles and parts by 41,300, part of an overall 54,000 gain in manufacturing.

Average hourly earnings rose by 3.1% from a year ago, slightly above the 3% expected by economists polled by Dow Jones...........

The Median Household Income is up more than $5,000 in President Trump's economy. That's in only 3 years under President Trump. And, it's 5 times more than under Obama in 8 years.

So, I guess you're in favor of deporting illegal aliens...who are sucking up all the affordable housing and low skilled jobs in America. Not to mention driving up costs of healthcare through getting emergency care at hospitals. Someone has to pay. There is no free lunch so healthcare providers raise their prices to paying customers.
