Trump is spinning and boasting (a/k/a full of shit). The saturated unskilled job market is the biggest problem, by far. If we get that shit under control, the market would probably demand a $20 minimum without any government manipulation.Stop flooding the job markets with immigrants.
According to Trump and you members of his harem, we have more jobs than workers. So the markets can't be getting flooded by anyone.
And wages are going up,just as we've said all along.
Are they?
States have been taking upon themselves to raise minimum wages. While a positive it's hardly keeping up.
To argue that people are now making $8.50 as opposed to $7.75 while Wall Street demands billions in aid is not an impressive economy.
As I noted earlier, it was common for a business to hire unskilled labor and then train them. Now they want you already trained and to pay less (all things considered) than they did when they trained their own help.
