For the first time in years, pay for the lowest-income Americans is rising faster than for other groups.

Weekly pay for full-time earners at the lowest 10th percentile of the wage scale rose at a faster rate last quarter, year-to-year, than for any other group measured by the U.S. Labor Department—including those at the top of the income scales who earn five times as much.

The shift for low-income workers—including restaurant workers and retail cashiers—who make about $10.75 an hour, is a sign that a tightening labor market is delivering better pay to workers who largely haven’t shared in gains since the recession ended eight years ago, according to economists and government data. Last quarter marked the first time since late 2010 that this earning group’s gains outpaced all others, including the 90th, 75th, 50th and 25th percentiles.

You are not suggesting that it was due to someone else's policies.

Funny how the time line keeps moving for Trump. For healthcare you wonder how it has taken so long. For improving the economy, you wonder how it can happen so quickly. What a crybaby. That is how a little kid thinks. Good thing the adults are back in control. Wahhhhhhh

Reducing regulations and pushing for tax cuts instead of tax increases removes lots of uncertainties for many businesses and for many contemplating whether or not to establish a business.  I can assure you that this perception did NOT exist in any way, shape or form. 8 months ago.

The jobs you're talking about are not low paying.  This thread is about wage increases for lower paying jobs.

Once again, the article states the facts.  You can't change them.   It's killing you because it has occurred while Trump is President.
