The economy is booming: The economy is expanding rapidly under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership.
• Americans are optimistic and excited about the
economy’s growth under President Trump’s
leadership.
*According to Pew Research, Americans rating the economy good to excellent surged to 53%, the highest point in 18 years.
*According to Gallup, the stress over the economy has dropped 37% from its high of 71% in 2011 and 2012. One-third of that decline has occurred in the past year. This is huge. Under Obama’s reign, there was no certainty. When he rushed Obamacare through, without anyone knowing what all was included, it was such a huge burden on taxpayers.
• The United States economy continues to expand at better-than-expected rates.
*Department of Commerce figures released in mid-March shows the economy grew at an annual rate of 2.9% during the final three months of 2017, which beat their prior estimate of 2.5%.
*The monthly Employment Situation Report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released in March shows that nonfarm payroll employment rose by 313,000 in February. The average job numbers in 2018 are the strongest since 1997. That’s a huge accomplishment. The strongest in 20 years!
*The economy grew at an annual rate of 3.1% over the past three quarters.
*Since January 2017, over 2.5 million jobs have been added to the economy.
• Unemployment dropped to its lowest levels since before the Great Recession and wages are rising.
*Recent data shows the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits dropped to more than a 45-year low in mid-March. People are working. This puts less stress on families, less depression, less fighting over finances. Families can get back to living again and not scraping to make ends meet.
*The Department of Labor data from February shows a 4.1% unemployment rate, which is a 17-year low.
*In February, average hourly earnings rose to $26.75, continuing record gains made in 2018.
*According to Gallup, the percentage of Americans now worried about unemployment is down 36% points from the high of 59% in 2010, including a seven-point decline in the past year.
