"wages up 3% to 6%"
1.4% behind Obama; keep trying.

CPI — The Consumer Price Index rose 4.7% during Trump’s first 29 months, continuing a long period of historically low inflation.

In the most recent 12 months, ending in June, the CPI rose 1.7%. The CPI rose an average of 1.8% each year of the Obama presidency (measured as the 12-month change ending each January), and an average of 2.4% during each of George W. Bush’s years.

Wages — Paychecks continued to grow faster than prices.

The average weekly earnings of all private-sector workers, in “real” (inflation-adjusted) terms, rose 2.5% during Trump’s first 29 months (ending in June) after going up 3.9% during the previous four years.

Those figures are for all private-sector workers, including managers and supervisors.

For rank-and-file production and nonsupervisory workers (who make up 82% of all private-sector workers), real weekly earnings have gone up 2.7% so far under Trump, after rising 4.9% during Obama’s last four years in office.
