Additionally, the average hourly earning number for May was $16.62. That works out to about $34,570 per year. Again, that’s not shabby at all for all but the most expensive areas of the country.

Ignore the flood of negative news (including the overtly-negative innuendo in the story) the MSM is peddling every day. This economy is doing very, very well.

A: It was the same , 3.8 percent.

Goodness. You’d think that would be something we might have heard a few times from the MSM, wouldn’t you?
