Re: Bump when these numbers move

I'm old enough to remember when the poors voted against their best interests.....

We’ve seen already the news of the growing number of companies citing the corporate tax cut as the trigger to give bonuses, raises, and announcements of significant new domestic capital investment, which is ruining the Democrats’ day. Wait till they get a load of this news, from the Wall Street Journal this morning:

Less-Educated Workers See Biggest Weekly Pay Bumps

Americans with only a high-school diploma are seeing faster earnings growth than their highly educated counterparts, as employers in low-wage industries hungrily search for workers to fill job openings.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, median weekly earnings for workers 25 years and older with only a high-school diploma rose 2.3% from the same period a year earlier, new Labor Department data show. Meanwhile, pay for Americans carrying a bachelor’s degree edged up just 0.8% from the fourth quarter of 2016.

The trend has been ongoing, with year-over-year wage growth for high-school graduates outpacing wage growth for college graduates in each quarter of 2017.

Sorry Roc and Rake...but it's true.

The ACA financed the Opioid epidemic. The Opioid epidemic has shortened American lifespans.

A Shocking Decline in American Life Expectancy

I hope the Atlantic is politically acceptable to you.

Because of the opioid epidemic, Americans have been dying younger for two years in a row.

For the first time since the early 1960s, life expectancy in the United States has declined for the second year in a row, according to a CDC report released Thursday. American men can now expect to live 76.1 years, a decrease of two-tenths of a year from 2015. American women’s life expectancy remained at 81.1 years.

The change was driven largely by a rising death rate among younger Americans. The death rate of people between the ages of 25 and 34 increased by 10 percent between 2015 and 2016, while the death rate continued to decrease for people over the age of 65.

Why are all these being called a “one time” cash bonus? Are the tax cuts ending next year and after that? Or is this just a “one time” stunt by corporations to fool the same idiots they’ve been fooling sine 8, November 2016.

you should know that the CEO's of these corporations are raging liberals and they're begrudgingly giving these cash bonuses. The last thing they want is to somehow make the racist, bigoted sexual predator look competent. That would be really bad for their companies and wealth.

Kimberly Clark cutting over 5,000 jobs, over 10% of its workforce.

Kimberly-Clark — maker of brands such as Kleenex, Scott and Huggies — said the savings it receives from the new tax-cut law will help them pay for a restructuring program that includes layoffs.

The company said the restructuring initiative, which the company was planning to undertake regardless of the tax law's passage, will involve reducing its number of employees by about 5,000 to 5,500 people, or 12 to 13 percent of its workforce. Kimberly-Clark also said it plans to close or sell about 10 manufacturing facilities.

Wage increases reported by highest number of companies in 18 years, survey finds

More companies are hiking wages and salaries than at any time over the last 18 years, according to a survey of business economists released Monday.

The National Association for Business Economics said the net percentage of those companies which have increased wages and salaries over the last three months rose to 48 in January, up from 37 in October and the third-highest reading since April 1982.

Not a single respondent said their wages have dropped, according to the NABE survey.

Wage growth has been the missing ingredient to the recovery from the Great Recession.
