Huge jobs report numbers today. 266,000 new jobs in November versus an expected 187,000.

Is inflation a concern? Doesn’t look like it

Are we running out of workers? Maybe

Stocks will have a very good day

The average hourly worker in America is making $28.29?

That's what the report says.

That figure is "hourly earnings" which include benefits such as health insurance costs borne by the employer.

I'd be happier giving some up and Trump telling China where to stick it.

We don't need phase 1 deal right now; delaying it would force more migration out of china.

This from someone who is very invested in equities right now.

I'm all for anything that keeps the stock market growing. Hoping to retire in 3 years, lol.
