Post# of 123761
Before the Coronavirus spread from China across the globe, President Trump helped America build its strongest economy in history.
Median household incomes rose to their highest level ever in 2019, while the poverty rate hit an all-time low. Under the Trump Administration, more Americans were employed than ever before—160 million—and the unemployment rate fell to a 50-year low.
The unemployment rates for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Americans without a high-school diploma all hit record lows, while the Trump “Blue-Collar Boom” saw wages grow faster for workers than for managers or supervisors.
After COVID-19 forced a temporary economic shutdown, President Trump signed the largest relief package in American history to protect workers and families from economic devastation.
Under President Trump’s leadership, the American economy surged back to life within months, seeing record growth and job gains.
America gained 7 million new jobs—more than three times government experts’ projections
Middle-class family income increased nearly $6,000—more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration
The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century
Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job hirings
More Americans reported being employed than ever before—nearly 160 million
Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low
The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest level on record
Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly three decades
