From the Associated Press:

"Manufacturers and business service providers posted a strong month of
hiring in April, helping cut the U.S. unemployment rate to 3.9
percent, the lowest level since December 2000. Employment in
manufacturing grew by 24,000. Much of the growth stemmed from makers
of durable goods, like machinery and fabricated metal products."

I'm seeing huge amounts of new construction everywhere I look and lots
of help wanted signs. Anecdotal? Perhaps, but the economy seems to
be hitting on all cylinders. Wage increases and inflation usually
follow. Not bad for a "right wing" administration.

The building business here is certainly booming again. They are back
to having trouble finding enough trades and anyone who wants to work,
is working.
