From the Readers

Dear editor,

I was truly impressed with last year’s event of the Chicago Filipino Asian American Hall of Fame gala awards dinner. No doubt, the 25th will be a super-fabulous one.

Congratulations on your UP Alumni Association Award- well-deserved. I believe in your vision, and I can truly see how uplifting it is to see fellow Philippine Americans achieve their life-long dreams. Showcasing these achievements and successes in spite and despite of the many challenges we all faced as Filipinos in our adopted country, had influenced how we are viewed and valued in the world. Thanks to you!

American workers are winning

There is a significant body of evidence showing that the U.S. economy is strong. The U.S. economy has added millions of jobs, and even long-neglected sectors like manufacturing are having a resurgence.

Among the continuous good economic news, wage growth for America’s workers has taken center stage. For the first time since 2009, year over year nominal hourly wage growth met or surpassed 3 percent under the Trump Administration. Wages have continued to do so for 12 months, even as inflation stayed below the Federal Reserve’s target 2.0 percent. Not only are wages growing but the slow growth in consumer prices means that American workers’ dollars are going farther. It is no wonder consumer confidence surged in July as consumers became more optimistic about their current situation and future economic prospects.

Buried beneath all of this great news is the recovery of another important measure of worker health from the lows of the Obama Administration.

On July 26, 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce released an estimate of second-quarter GDP and updates to GDP since 2014. The U.S. grew a better than expected 2.1 percent annual rate in Q2 and annual revisions showed higher levels of real disposable income and consumer spending in the first two years of the Trump Administration.
