Good news on the labor front this week . Not only are we in the midst of a record 77 consecutive months of job growth, but real wages are also going up. That's excellent and overdue. While conservatives complain about low labor force participation like baby boomers should even be allowed to retire, the labor market's run under the Obama administration is pretty solid, all things considered. 4.9% unemployment and 255,000 payroll jobs added in July. Good work, Corporate People. We didn't forget about you.
