3rd Quarter GDP Estimate: Rises To Whopping 4.6%

The headline is a lie (the editors, not the authors, write the headlines) but the statistics in the article are mostly true (but probably dated). After eight years under Obama with a weak job market and little or no raises it's going to take some time to pull all of the working poor back up to middle class wages. But there is a lot of pressure to raise wages now that Trump's policies have boosted employment. Now that there are more jobs than qualified workers, supply and demand will win out.


Not every business has gotten the message. For example, Mrs. Malabar's previous employer has about 30% of their positions unfilled because they haven't caught up with the increases in pay yet, and employees are leaving for better pay elsewhere. Either they will soon start offering competitive wages or they'll lose business to their competitors.

Of course the author shows he's an idiot with his proposed solutions, but that's another story.
