dumb ass. due to the yuge increases in Manufacturing and construction jobs.
Which is due to the economic boom created by Trump

Employers need good skilled workers,and then they have to keep them -so the wages are up

simplistic. has nothing to do with today's economy.
This is not a "bubble "economy -it's real solid growth across all sectors

Thus due to low unemployment. Trump's economic boom is just a continuation of trends established before the election.

Which, again, is just a continuation of trends established before the election. Trump just has managed to not screw things up, yet.

Minimum wages don't really effect skilled labor jobs which pay more then minimum even at the lowest rung.
It does push up wages for hospitality and such

It pushes up wages at multiple levels, including skilled labor jobs. If the new minimum wage pays as much as or more than that lowest rung, pay at that level will have to increase, pushing up wages at higher levels.

grotesque misunderstanding of the fact skilled jobs pay more then the minimum wages even at the lowest entry

Inflation does not increase wages.

Not necessarily true. It depends on the driving factors.

One example. "Wage push inflation has an inflationary spiral effect that occurs when wages are increased and businesses must — to pay the higher wages — charge more for their products and/or services. ... If prices remain increased, workers eventually require another wage increase to compensate for the cost of living increase.Feb 18, 2018"

t Friday’s employment report is yet more proof that President Trump’s policies have achieved in a little more than one year something progressive politicians have been championing for nearly forever: a fairly significant increase in the federal minimum wage.

Trump hasn’t officially agreed to raise the federal minimum wage above its current level of $7.25 an hour, but then again, he doesn’t have to. His policies are doing it all for him — including restricting illegal immigration.

A piece by The New York Times highlighted what’s happening in construction, where a labor shortage is pushing worker salaries to something like $25 an hour. But because the Times can’t stand to give Trump any credit, the story was framed that this shortage was a bad thing, a terrible burden for wealthy construction companies and contractors. What hypocrisy.

We can argue about efficacies of wall building in curtailing illegal immigration another time, but the numbers don’t lie: Friday’s employment report showed continued jobs gains and, lo and *behold, a continued increase in wages.
And not for hedge-fund managers, the report showed, but in those industries that employ the vast working class, such as health care, what’s known as leisure and hospitality and, of course, construction.

For years wages and benefits have remained stagnant on the low end despite all efforts by progressives from former President Barack Obama and various elected officials to increase the minimum wage and force employers to offer workers additional perks.

Now that’s changing.
Wages and benefits are rising as businesses scramble to find workers in construction, health care and other industries. Government-induced minimum-wage standards and benefits often force employers to cut their payrolls to make a profit. But that’s not what’s happening now.
Businesses are growing because of the Trump administration is cutting regulations, and taxes and the labor pool on the low end.

Turns out supply and demand does work.

Manufacturing employment declined a bit, Friday’s report noted. But it was the first such decline in some time, which may point to one of the holes in the Trump economic policy: his obsession with ameliorating the trade deficit through tariffs.

Tariffs are clearly having a boom*erang effect on US factory jobs as foreigners slap tariffs on our goods. But with progress being made on a trade deal with China, the mini-slump in manufacturing employment may soon be reversed.

The numbers don’t lie: The double whammy of lower taxes and a decline in the importing of low-wage illegal workers is making life better for the blue collar. The left loves to portray the president as xenophobic, but how is any of this racist if the beneficiaries are minorities and legal immigrants who often work in these jobs and are no longer worried about being replaced by an endless flow of cheap labor?

Good, must mean Walmart employees are getting closer to earning a salary they can live on, now if they only had benefits to go along with it

horseshit. post something real.

http://fortune.com/2019/02/01/walma...ick-leave-in-overhaul-of-employment-policies/
Effective Feb. 2, the revamp standardizes a patchwork of local and regional policies crafted to comply with the growing number of states and municipalities requiring businesses to offer paid sick leave. Now all of Walmart’s store and warehouse workers will be able to earn as many as 48 hours of what it calls “Protected Paid Time Off,” which is classified separately from their regular vacation time and can be used for any reason.

It’s the latest step in Walmart’s attempt to burnish its reputation as an employer. Last year, the company raised wages, expanded parental-leave policies and relaxed its dress code—moves that, Walmart says, have lowered employee turnover rates in the U.S. by more than 10%, though it won’t be more specific.

This is REALLY going to trigger the morons on the left. How are they going to convince these people that hating Trump will make their lives better???? :laugh:

Something like 19 states have recently raised their minimum wage, something that conservatives have opposed for a long time now. That opposition is the main reason that the federal minimum wage has stagnated. Again, giving Trump credit that he doesn't deserve.
