Trump vs. Obama: The Most Jobs Created in First 20 Months

Although the trade tensions between China and the United States are still in effect, they continue to have little to no impact upon U.S. markets and job growth, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq up 3.3 percent, 5.5 percent, and 21.4 percent YTD, respectively. The S&P 500 index is just 0.4 percent below its record close of $2,872.87 hit on January 26.
