Recommendation
President Donald Trump takes credit for US economic growth and soaring employment numbers. But according to this sobering report by economist Robert Shapiro, many of Trump’s core supporters among working-class Americans are still missing the party. People with college degrees continue to grab a disproportionate share of jobs, while those with less education still struggle. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends this eye-opening article to anyone with an interest in how political perception and economic reality often don’t jibe.
