Carolina gop. I was watching it. Immediately went in and threw up. I was very ill. This has shaken us to the core. The u. S.

One other piece of of good news, average earnings went up last month by 6 cents. You know that sounds like a tiny amount but every bit counts. We need those wages to go up in

I say we are attempting to put it on television because it is exactly as hard as you might expect to prepare for this kind of debate. Theres a reason you dont put ten people onstage at once unless they are dancing in a coordinated fashion. Nevertheless, we shall do it. And, you know, it is hard not to sense that the white house and the Trump Administration might not be almost as focused on this first debate as the Democratic Candidates are. Tomorrow morning, for example, Vice President mike pence will be here in miami, of all places, and spare thought for Vice President pence at this difficult time, when you consider what exactly he has been tasked with doing here on his miami trip tomorrow, the day before all the Democratic Candidates start debating here. I kid you not, mike pence is coming to miami tomorrow for a latinos for trump kickoff event. To be followed quickly by a Vice President ial trip to the National Hurricane center for a photo op.

As they come. Jobs, jobs, jobs, as you see right there. Cnns Cristina Alesci is here with a closer look at it all. Whats behind this report . So, from a headline perspective, its a gangbuster report. A political win for the president for sure. Let me put some context around those numbers that you just described. 263,000 jobs. We are now in the 103rd straight month of job gains. Again, this is the Strong Economy story we have been telling. 3. 6 unemployment, the lowest since december 1969, as you pointed out. And another important metric that we have been paying attention to, wage growth. 3. 2 year over year. That is even better when you factor in price increases of 1. 9 . That means that prices are going up 1. 9 and people are making 3. 2 more in their paychecks.
