      “Average hourly wage growth over the past six months revved up to 3.3% on an annualized basis, easily the fastest pace since January 2009.” Great news!https://bit.ly/2ISIcD5

      When you adjust wage growth for inflation, wages have been flat since 2017. The inflation rate has doubled since Trump took office and has eaten up any wage gains. At the same time, corporate profits have soared. #NE02

      Not according to OWH... they say NE wages increased 3.4% over inflation this past year. First tome in almost decade and half.

          I'm talking about the national figures. The OWH doesn't say whether or not their numbers were adjusted for inflation.

          You are mistaken once again... the OWH made it clear it was 3.4% wage growth in NE adjusted for inflation. We'll be discussing this everyday in weeks ahead!

          The annual deficit will be $2 trillion when we have a recession. Deficits in the amount of $1 trillion and $2 trillion aren't conservative - they're extreme. Bacon is too extreme for #NE02.

          Wasn't that article talking about 2016-2017 wage increases? That would have been before any of the GOP tax cuts or policies had taken place.

          Wages did increase adjusted for inflation in 2015-16. They've been flat since the deficit financed tax cut for the rich in late 2017.

          Don, can you (or a staffer) tell me how much a person that was making a wage of $10/hour will make in real income after wages increase 3.4% over inflation? Hint: the answer is not $10.34/hour. You can pick the inflation rate. Show your work.

          This wasn't rhetorical. I am trying to understand what your definition of "great" is. You really need to be more responsive to your constituents. It is pretty disrespectful of you to ignore them.

          U didn’t understand the article These BLS stats are not adjusted for inflation, shouldn’t you know that. The article also states annual wage growth “cooled” to 2.75%. The 3.3% is a number based on last six months, that will decrease with Q4 seasonal wages U can’t be this stupidpic.twitter.com/pNx0QpZyul
