MAGA: 72% of Blue Collar Workers are OPTIMISTIC About Future and 67% of Blue Collar Workers are HAPPY!!!
THE FORGOTTEN MEN AND WOMEN ARE HAPPY AND OPTIMISTIC UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP …
A new survey of white and blue collar employees have provided some amazing results. 72% of blue collar workers and 76% of white collar workers are optimistic about their future. Also, 67% of blue collar workers state they are happy at their work. The 2016 presidential election victory by Donald Trump was a victory for the forgotten blue collar men and women of America. Blue collar workers are very optimistic about the future.
By many measures, America’s blue-collar workers are confronting a challenging present and uncertain future. The twin threats of outsourcing and automation show few signs of slowing, causing some pundits to question whether the American dream remains attainable for working-class families.
However, research suggests the outlook for white-collar professionals may also be less than rosy. Whereas blue-collar workers have actually enjoyed rising wages in recent months, white-collar professionals have seen their pay remain largely stagnant. Plus, large-scale surveys indicate office workers are feeling deeply disconnected from their work, leading to burnout and poor performance.
Keep this in mind for the upcoming 2018 midterm elections. It is not about what the MSM tells you or a skewed poll, it’s always about the economy.

Small Business Optimism Surges to Highest Level Ever … Better Than Even Under Reagan
ANOTHER ECONOMIC RECORD FOR THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY …
As reported at CNBC, the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index jumped to 108.8 last month, an all-time high. This is the highest level ever recorded in the survey’s 45-year history and above the previous record of 108 in 1983, set during the second year of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. President Donald Trump is making good on his promise to “Making America Great Again.”
Main Street optimism hits new August high from CNBC.
U.S. small business optimism surged to a record in August as the tax cuts and deregulation efforts of President Donald Trump and the Republican-led Congress led to more sales, hiring and investment, according to a survey by the National Federation of Independent Business.
The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index jumped to 108.8 last month, the highest level ever recorded in the survey’s 45-year history and above the previous record of 108 in 1983, set during the second year of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. The August figure was up from a 107.9 reading in July.
The NFIB noted record readings for job creation plans and the amount of owners saying it was a good time to expand. Capital spending plans were the highest since 2007.
“Today’s groundbreaking numbers are demonstrative of what I’m hearing everyday from small business owners – that business is booming,” said NFIB President and CEO Juanita D. Duggan, in a press release Tuesday. “As the tax and regulatory landscape changed, so did small business expectations and plans.”
I guess Obama will take credit for this as well.
