US Economy adds 850,000 jobs in June

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

Blowout jobs report. UE remains the same at 5.9%.

Something that the talking heads won't focus on enough, hourly wages have increased 60 cents an hour over the last 4 months. Wages are growing the fastest they've grown in ages.

The wage growth we're seeing is what should be the headline here. The working poor is finally seeing things head in the right direction for them.

I post on multiple bipartisan websites, the Cons have no idea how to combat this, so they are ignoring it. All of their gloom and doom predictions are toast. The economy is cranking out jobs, growing at a massive rate, and the stock indices are all near or at record highs. Does not compute for them.
