It might mean more employer funded health benefits.

Well this is super, let's take a look at income and how it has changed over the same time period relative to inflation for the people who actually receive wages.

Blue Wave is toast after Kavanaugh confirmed, mark my words. And I'm referring to Democrats hopes of Blue Wave, it was already toast a long time ago.

This is really the opposite of what was happening under Obama. How does the labor participation rate looking tho?

Thanks President Trump!

So underemployment is falling. 👍

What!!! I thought everyone worked two jobs to get these job market numbers.

Trump is literally Hitler, though.... right?!?

Jobless claims fall to one-month low of 216,000 as labor market stays strong entering 2019The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell sharply in the first week of 2019 and returned close to a half-century low, reflecting a robust U.S. labor market whose strength is likely to keep the economy growing for the 10th straight year. Initial jobless claims declined by 17,000 to 216,000. You can't evaluate the job market by unemployment claims. When you have a GIG economy those folks aren't eligible to unemployment. Part timers can't collect either.

The Loneliest Job in a Tight Labor MarketJob recruiters, once overrun with applicants, now face candidates who don’t show for appointments or even completely disappear, in the tightest labor market since 1969: ‘Are our phones even working?’ This might prove to be a problem very soon as recruiters are pretty well connected, Google Apps never forgets anything and the debt cycle is going to dump a lot of million people out of job (using that word because the layoffs will come hard and fast). For years, hiring managers have had their pick of applicants, many from overseas, some actual US citizens. They had it too easy, since the US economy has been floundering since 2000. That's 18 years of insults, decline in std of living, and failed investments.
