American Jobless Claims Have Dropped To A Historic Low Thanks To President Trump’s Booming “america First” Economy.
The number of Americans claiming unemployment has now dropped to the lowest level as of last week since December 1969, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. Jobless claims decreased by 8,000 to 207,000 as of July 14.
