Cue the conservative conspiracies.
This is incredibly good news and should be shouted from every corner.
I’m sure, it’s only a matter of time, before the opposition declares these numbers false, declares that the jobs number isn’t good enough, makes all sorts of statements about the ‘phoniness’ of the entire issue. However, before they do that, they need to step forward and tell all of America exactly what they did to facilitate the creation of better-paying jobs and what infrastructure bills they’ve sponsored through Congress to help the nation.
Mostly, if asked, all we will hear is crickets and Benghazi. Because the detractors have done nothing and never will.
Congrats to those companies who believe in the US workers and have figured out what Henry Ford knew: if we don’t pay our workers, there won’t be anyone out there to buy our products.
Well becca it is very good news but I’m surprised TPM didn’t give it a splash across their “front page”. And there’s no analysis.
Darcy, the news was just released by the Labor Department in the last half hour. Analysis, by its very nature, requires time.
