    The two key drivers of economic growth -- expansion of the labor force and productivity gains -- have been on a downtrend for years. And demographics are set to hold down workforce participation as baby boomers retirehttp://on.wsj.com/2qCVQEX

        If only our president understood this instead of touting a stock market that isn’t a gauge of the economy when a majority of Americans have no investments at all

        Sorry, reducing revenue to the federal government and keeping it in the more productive private sector will increase growth. A factor the WSJ “experts” fail to acknowledge.

        Factory production leads to pollution & unemployment. Plant production leads to purification & employment. Companies growth is shown as economic growth

        If only companies would find some way to lure baby boomers back into the workforce. Nah, they would never do that.

        Its been on a downturn for decades because shareholders want to take advantage of cheaper labor costs to manufacture their products and lower operating costs. Private equity firms increased the pressure to cut costs by any means necessary. This started in the 80s Reagan era.

        In 1971 we left the gold standard in foreign exchange, then the '73 GATT. Manufacturing died in the '70s.pic.twitter.com/VeTNF7bAQq

        Uh thats pretty much a case for raising the minimum wage. When the inflation-adjusted minimum wage stopped rising and unions were weakened, wages stagnated while productivity continued to rise.
