.@NancyPelosi: "Hip hip hooray, unemployment is down. What does that mean to me and my life? I need a bigger paycheck." https://t.co/fKhYCwwIrp pic.twitter.com/uNlHZ2AcVY

For the first time on record, the number of job openings in the U.S. exceeds the number of unemployed Americans — a trend that may soon give workers more leverage to demand pay raises. With employers struggling to fill openings, the number of available jobs in April rose 1 percent to 6.7 million from 6.6 million in March, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That’s the most since records began in December 2000.In other words, despite Pelosi’s doomsaying, paychecks will get bigger and, as we’ve discussed in the past, President Trump will be getting the credit. That must sting if your party’s electoral leverage is based on a rising misery index, but it’s the way things are. Denying it won’t win races, it will just make you look insane. So, please, Democrats. Whatever you do; please keep this woman front and center until 2020. She’s the single greatest gift you could possibly give to any GOP candidate.
