Tony,
Americans working multiple jobs BEFORE wages jumped UP in January 2024 and BEFORE increases in minimum wages in January 2024.
Typically it takes about 4 years on average for the economy to rebound from a Pandemic although we have very few Pandemics for comparison.
Regardless, why do you seem to get
triggered whenever minimum wages go UP, job growth goes UP, et cetera ???

By the way, as I've stated for many years...
long before Biden...America has an escalating consumer debt problem, escalating student loan debt problem, unwilling to scale down its debts because of the most ridiculous reasons.
It makes sense to me because before the Pandemic, I posted a thread
or maybe it was a message post about being
"debt free" and surprisingly...many here at the forum tried like hell to prove without any data that "debt free" is a bad thing while earning a high wage.
With that said, the
real wages under Biden have yet to catch up to Trump but Biden's number is now moving in the right direction (back UP). The end of the Pandemic economics (trying to survive and get the economy going again)...it's working as real wages are now slowly moving back UP to the Average Hourly Wages.
The question now is whether America continues to grow the gap between the Poor and the Rich while
not understanding it's directly connected to the growing debt that occurred during the Pandemic.
One thing that is important to me...
Trump plans to stop (kill) the increases in minimum wages, and hourly wages to
benefit businesses (not workers) that are becoming rich off the backs of their employees. Biden just wants it to get back to where it was at under Trump while putting more money into the pockets of Americans...
Knowing he can not control what Americans do with that money...get more debt instead of paying it down.

My mom once resided at the Trump Tower in Chicago. I had to fight like hell to get her to downsize as she's now a very elderly woman who needs more help instead of living independently.
She refuses to go to a luxury nursing home in Chicago (that's a lot cheaper than what she currently pays), and refuses to move to South Dakota to live with my brother who lives in a million-dollar home with an empty bedroom designed for an elderly person with extra needs, and she refuses to move to Quebec, Canada to live with my family so that she'll be around French speakers...her native language.
The only good thing...thanks to my siblings and me...she has no debt and can easily relocate because of such.
Once again, you get triggered when Biden's economics catches up with Trump or surpasses...you begin to talk about polls, and America's feelings while you want us to believe you're promoting Cornell West...at the same time...
You make very few posts about West as if he's just a cover-up.
Seriously, what is wrong with West's economic plans, and will he kill the increases in minimum wages, and average hourly wages like Trump plans to do ???
I do agree that any
Independent will most likely erase any single-digit advantage a Republican or Democrat has over the other...
The reason why any good Independent
(it's not West) can then sneak into the back door for the Oval Office.
Last of all,
Haley makes it very clear...Biden is bad but Trump will be much worse if he regains the Oval Office. Yet, she fears that America will forget what Trump did in 2020, to the economy, mishandling of getting America prepared for the Pandemic...the chaos of mass protesting will return to America, and more racial/ethnic violence.
All while Politics control a Health Crisis...
never a winning strategy, and the reason why Trump lost so badly.
