Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
It’s a problem many in MHVille are talking about. Labor shortages.
Two points before diving into the CNBC data.
First, on the face of it, the data is not correct in an absolute sense. Under Democratic and Republican administrations alike, Labor Department statistics skew the actual numbers, which the so-called U6 data reflects.
That said, CNBC is – as Sharyl Attkisson’s insightful chart has noted – tilted left. This network doesn’t tend to give President Trump and his administration props for much of anything.
That said, without naming the president, this video reflects the top line data that are commonly cited by public officials, and its clearly a glowing report.
On the point of wage growth, what CNBC and others are not addressing much is the impact of undocumented – meaning, non-citizens that are in the U.S. illegally – labor, robotics, and automation. For example, a recent report says that Amazon has an estimated 100,000 robots working in their warehouses.
Job training, and other administration plans are necessary to address the remaining issues that are still holding even faster wage growth back. But the trajectory is good for workers, as the video makes plain.
