Lost in all the headlines about the federal shutdown and the war over the wall is some hugely important news: The US economy has taken a seriously worker-friendly turn.
America is enjoying its best job market in decades, with unemployment at a nearly 50-year low, people rejoining the workforce in droves and hourly wages continuing to rise.
The December jobs report showed an astonishing gain of 312,000 jobs across nearly all sectors of the economy. Manufacturing added 284,000 jobs last year, up 12 percent over 2017. Hispanic unemployment is at a record low; for African-Americans, nearly so.
As National Economics Council director Larry Kudlow says, this is “an economic boom that most folks thought impossible.”
By “most folks,” he surely means the Democrats, economists and media figures who all insisted such a turnaround could never happen. During the 2016 campaign, for example, then-President Barack Obama claimed you’d need a “magic wand” to reverse America’s loss of manufacturing jobs.
President Trump found the wand — in the form of sweeping tax cuts and deregulation that dramatically boosted business and consumer confidence.
