Americans have seen a significant increase in their wages, thanks to the policies implemented by President Donald Trump, according to Vice President JD Vance.
In a conversation with Breitbart News, Vance revealed that the average American worker's take-home pay has increased by approximately $1,200, adjusted for inflation, in the first ten months of the Trump administration.
As reported by Breitbart News, Vance contrasted this with the three years of the Biden administration, during which the average American worker lost about $3,000 in take-home pay. "Wages continue to way outpace inflation," Vance stated, emphasizing the importance of this economic shift. He further highlighted that job growth is now benefiting native-born American citizens, a stark contrast to the Biden administration's tenure, where most of the job creation went to foreign-born individuals.
"The best thing that you can say about the Trump economy is that American jobs are going to American workers for a change," Vance proudly declared. His comments came on the heels of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' positive economic report for October. The report revealed that average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 9 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $36.67 in September. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 3.8 percent.
Vance also credited Trump's campaign to deport illegal migrants for helping to increase average wages and reduce rents. This dual advantage could potentially alleviate the much-discussed affordability concerns over the next six months.
In addition to these policies, Vance has advocated for increased use of robotics and automation to boost American income. "The evidence that I see is that if we really lean into robotics and technology, its going to raise everybodys wages and make everybody better off," Vance told Fox News. He criticized the Democrat model of importing low-wage immigrants, arguing that it negatively impacted the jobs and wages of blue-collar workers.
In contrast, Vance believes that using technology to empower blue-collar workers rather than replacing them with foreign labor will lead to higher wages and overall national prosperity. President Trump also supports this approach, favoring the use of automation and robots over migration.
However, Democratic leaders continue to advocate for more low-wage migrants. This stance comes despite President Joe Biden's welcoming of at least 15 million migrants, which has pushed many young Americans out of the nation's economy. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for instance, argued that immigration is not the main factor pushing wages down.
Despite the contrasting views on immigration and its impact on the economy, the Trump administration's focus on American workers and technological advancement appears to be yielding positive results. The increase in wages and job growth for native-born citizens underscores the administration's commitment to prioritizing American workers and their economic prosperity.
