Thanks to pro-growth Republican policies like tax cuts and deregulation, there has never been a better time to find a new job in this country. Today’s jobs report, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows that an impressive 250,000 jobs were created last month, keeping the national unemployment rate at 3.7 percent, a half-century low. Historically low unemployment extends to all demographics, including blacks, Hispanics, and women.
At this level of unemployment, almost no one in the country needs to go to bed wondering if they are going to be able to provide for their families. This economic peace of mind is unique to the United States. Combined with the fastest wage, economic and stock market growth in a decade or more, there is currently unprecedented opportunity for ordinary families to achieve the “American Dream.â€
This is the prosperity that is on the ballot on Tuesday. A vote for Republicans is a vote to continue and build on this economic momentum. A vote for Democrats is a vote to throw sand in its gears.
Democrats and their media allies have desperately tried to explain away the booming economy. They have incessantly repeated the talking point about "stagnant" wages. Unemployment being down means nothing because of "wage stagnation," said Nancy Pelosi in June. Yet wage growth has been strong. Today’s jobs report shows that average hourly wages grew by 3.1 percent over the last year, the fastest rate in a decade
