In a recent interview with Miranda Devine, Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent, noted that blue-collar wages are already rising under Trump. He points out that the last time they were this greatest was during Trump’s first term.
It’s important to remember that this is just the beginning, as Trump has only been in office for six months. Things will be better as he continues to implement his agenda.
Democrats who were talking about high egg prices five minutes after Trump was sworn in, became more and more quiet about economic issues. This is one of the reasons.
New York Post Report:
Blue-collar wage growth under Trump is seeing the biggest increase in nearly 60 years, the Treasury Department reveals in Pod Force 1
Blue-collar workers have seen real wage growth of nearly 2% in the first five months of President Donald Trump’s second term, the biggest increase in any administration in nearly 60 years.
The 1.7% wage bump is in stark contrast to negative growth under Joe Biden, according to new data from the US Treasury.
Since Richard Nixon in 1969, Trump was the only president to record positive growth in blue-collar workers in his first five months. He also achieved 1.3% in his first term.
As inflation outweighs revenue, Biden’s recovery from a 1.7% decline recorded in the first five months suggests a change in the economic situation for this financially highlighted segment of the workforce.
“The only thing that was the best was… during President Trump’s first term,” the Treasury Department told me on Wednesday in the latest episode of the “Pod Force One” podcast.

The president’s emphasis on manufacturing and immigration has created a boom for blue-collar Americans.
We’ve seen actual wages per hour, but non-surveillance workers have increased by almost 2% in the first five months.
