Record Low Unemployment for Less Educated Americans
2018-08-05
WASHINGTON (AP) ‐ The unemployment rates for recent veterans and less educated Americans fell to record lows in July.

The rate for those who have served in the armed forces anytime since September 2001 dropped to 3 percent, the lowest level on record since 2006.

The strong job market is starting to benefit lower-skilled workers as well. The jobless rate for Americans without high school diplomas dropped to 5.1 percent, the lowest level on record going back to 1992.
Somebody once said something about a rising tide floating all boats, but that statement was - and continues to be - mocked by the legacy infotainment media and their Democratic coaches.

Yahoo News version

Dallas Morning News had the same article, "from wire reports", Friday or Saturday in Mrs. Bobby's print edition, in the Business section, but I can't find it on the website today.

#4  Once the welfare state to the rich establishment (of which subsidized migration is just one) is cut off, Americans will be far wealthier.

Add to that 'welfare' (AID $$$) to foreign entities, involvement in mindless ME conflicts.

#3  Less academically credentialed Americans.

#2  In some sectors of the construction market, if you have a pulse and a driver's license, you can get a job...you do not need to be Einstein to drive a nail or fly a warehouse broom...and it pays much better than those wonderful service industry jobs the media and everyone else thinks are so wonderful.

After all, working with your hands is icky. AND geez, you have to be stupid to work on a job that doesn't use a computer to do the work.

The average wages in construction are about 2x that of the service industry...suck on that millennials.

#1  It takes "willful blindness" not to have seen this coming. Suppose, just suppose, you are a Small-Business Owner in a Big City run by an entrenched Democratic Machine. Now then: looking at 8 more years of Obama-style Labor Laws and ever-rising cost of government mandates -- 'Why would you hire 'unskilled labor' that you would be unable to fire in the future?'
