Average hourly earnings are up 3.1% from 2018, the unemployment rate stands at 3.7%, and experts predict it will hit 3.5% this year. The unemployment rate for African Americans reached a new low of 5.4%, falling 2.6 percentage points.

Despite repeated dire warnings of World War III, North Korea is behaving, Iran has stepped back, and ISIS is a bad memory. Trump’s trade wars, also predicted to wreak havoc, have produced a bi-partisan deal with Canada and Mexico on favorable terms, and he’s working on China’s predatory practices.
