Americans report stronger finances in Trump's first year
The share of Americans who report they are doing “at least okay” financially rose in President Donald Trump’s first year in office, according to Federal Reserve data published on Tuesday.
The data was in line with other readings detailing America’s recovery from the Obama recession, including steady job growth and a recent uptick in wages.
The U.S. central bank said 74 percent of U.S. adults said their finances were at least okay in 2017, four percentage points higher than in 2016. Improvement was strongest in lower income households.
