New York Times: ‘Best Time' for American Employees in Maybe 50 Years
2018-11-04
[NYT] The New York Times said on November 2 that President Donald Trump’s high-pressure economy "is the best time for the American labor market in at least 18 years and maybe closer to 50."

In 1968, per capita wages and salaries grew by 6.65 percent, after inflation is included, and then it grew by another 5.4 percent in 1969, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

#6  In fact, the NYT 'headline' is -

Three Key Factors That Will Determine How Long the Hot Job Market Lasts

then he give his bottom line up front -

Where is this growth really coming from; how real is the concern over inflation; and how many more workers are out there?

#5  Glancing down the original NYT article, it's all doom and gloom after that. Unexpectedly.

#4  Raj,

Given the current state of labor relations at the NYT, I suspect that 'Best Time' will last until their people start asking for raises and then we'll be right back to 'worst economy ever'.

#3  That had to hurt just a tad for them to admit it. There'll be a followup article to point out that Obumble's can take the credit for the economy.

Which I agree with,
he left the Presidency. [rimshot]

#2  Trump agents have clandestinely infiltrated the NYT. You knew it was coming.

#1  'High-pressure' economy - whatever that's supposed to mean. Must have killed the NYT to publish this article.
