In the past 3 months, we’ve added 9.3 million jobs, and now U.S. manufacturing activity is at a 19-month high!

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said on Tuesday its index of national factory activity increased to a reading of 56.0 last month from 54.2 in July. That was the highest level since November 2018 and marked three straight months of growth.
Proof the Great American Comeback is underway under @realDonaldTrump:
