(CNSNews.com) - The unemployment rates dropped in 2017 for workers 25 and older of all educational levels, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Among high school graduates who never attended college and who are 25 and older it hit a ten-year low of 4.2 percent in December, according to the data.
The unemployment rate among this group was never that low during the two-term presidency of Barack Obama.
The last time unemployment among high school graduates who never attended college was lower than 4.2 percent was June 2007, when George W. Bush was president. That month it hit 4.1 percent. But in July 2007, it rose to 4.6 percent; and by the time Bush left office in January 2009, it had risen to 8.2 percent.

(CNSNews.com) - On November 20, President Trump tweeted: "Under President Trump unemployment rate will drop below 4%. Analysts predict economic boom for 2018!"
On Friday, the nation's unemployment rate remained at a 17-year low of 4.1 percent for the third straight month, and the number of employed people increased by 103,000 to 154,021,000, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.

(CNSNews.com) - President Donald Trump said Thursday that U.S. companies and workers are already seeing the benefits of the tax cut reform bill that he signed into law before Christmas, including more than 60 companies that are increasing wages - many voluntarily raising their minimum wage to $15 per hour.
In a videotaped message played during Thursday’s White House press briefing, the president said the “historic tax cut” he signed “is already delivering major economic gains.”
“Hundreds of thousands of Americans are seeing larger paychecks, bigger bonuses, and higher pension contribution, and it's all because of the tax cuts and the tax reform,” Trump said. “And I want to thank all of the companies that worked so hard to do it.
“Workers at AT&T, Bank of America, Comcast, Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, and many other companies are receiving bonuses of $1,000 or more. Aflac and others are investing more in employees' 401(k)s. CVS announced it will hire 3,000 new workers. Boeing, another great company, is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in employee training and infrastructure,” he said.
“More than 60 companies have announced they are raising wages, including many that have voluntarily raised their minimum wage to $15.00 per hour -- and I mean they did that voluntarily, which many politicians said could only be achieved by government mandate,” Trump said.

Can we now safely say that liberals were wrong about the economy tanking under Trump? Have we heard the end of all of this?
Might I suggest they return to the "collusion argument", because they sure as hell didn't know what they were talking about when it came to Trump's impact on the economy?
