I've been skeptical from the get-go regarding the jobs and wage numbers. It's all smoke and mirrors. Everything taking place is by design to further the globalization agenda. The final plank in the platform of the globalist strategy is an economic hardship so severe that desperate folks will clammer for some form of relief.

That's when the globalist step in and offer what they have had in mind, all along. A collective collar of world socialism. This piece lays out what is actually taking place. The reality is that average folks are slowly sinking further into economic quicksand.

The Tariff wars that Trumpy has initiated while hyped as bringing China to heel, are really designed to further exacerbate economic conditions. If you've read this piece you see that most of the wage increases being touted have been averaged with those earning top incomes. The masses, not in the top categories, making far less. Also, the numbers of folks finding jobs are also fraudulent, for jobs created are being taken by folks already working a couple of parttime jobs. So yeah, the number of jobs may increase but the number of people finding jobs hasn't actually increased at all, or very little.

The last report read is cautioning that the cost of the tariffs will be passed on to the consumer. So, Ya have bogus jobs numbers, bogus wage increase percentages, and now the already struggling are faced with increased costs due to Trumpy doing us the favor of enduring the costs of his tariffs. This policy is falling into the trap set by the globalists.

I have yet to hear how getting china to be a more fair trading partner is gonna ease the plight of the working class, however, increasing the cost (inflation) of goods will certainly further the globalist agenda.

I realize there are those on this forum who discount Global Research's reporting. However, I suspect, for them, it's the truth of the reporting that's the problem.

Well, I wonder why Seattle has passed a law making the min, wage @ $15.00 per hour!
Maybe you can work that out champ. Must be one of them globalist.

Do you know that China puts a $45,000 tariff on a Herley Davison motorcycle coming into China? You
think that is fair? They do this to thousands of things try to sell to them, until Trumps action we never did that to them! Shape up.

I don't think China has a Harbor Freight or it builds it's buildings with patented American materials. China's goods are all around us. in every shape and form so anyone thinking we are going to be the loser in this trade war isn't seeing the Made in China on everything they buy.

According to CNN, a new jobs report showed that wages are up under President Trump’s first 6 months in office. During the same timeframe under President Obama in 2016, wages had actually fallen in the United States.

Wages have grown $5.27 per week in 2017, while they fell $0.74 during the same period in 2016.

The wage report is more good news for the president who also enjoyed a reported 209,000 jobs added in an outstanding economic July.

China never forced Americans to buy their goods, or forced American manufacturers to move their operations to China. China DID provide subsidies to Chinese manufacturers and offered incentives to American businessmen encouraging them to move.

The U.S. economy gained 164,000 jobs in July 2019, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. There were strong jobs gains across the board.

The economy needs 150,000 new jobs each month to keep expanding. Weak growth means the Federal Reserve won't raise rates at its future 2019 Federal Open Market Committee meetings.

I think minimum wage is for kids getting out of school with zero skills. I owned a company and something I would hire some kids just out of schools as apprentices, all the ones I interviewed had any experience but they wanted a good paycheck. None would work for minimum wage. I told them " You should pay me for teaching you how to make a living"
Now to what you do not understand, making minimum wage @ $15.00 per hour is going to deprive lots of young people a job. fact. The only way they can get started is to go to a trade school and that will cost them. Since our schools do not have shop and mechanical drawing anymore. You lefties do not look at the consequents of your actions.

And in August 2019, the jobs were down to 130,000, and manufacturing was an abysmal 3000 jobs.

Yeah think 200,000 every month will take place every month. Hate to tell ya but when there are more jobs available but fewer people looking that ain't gonna happen!

Just go to 60 Minutes of CBS and look in their archives it's there. But you will not want to do that.
