According to a report on CNN, 3/4 of the Economjc output and 2/3 of the Job gains for much of 2017, we're made in Counties that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 despite Trump winning more counties since Ronald Reagan. This cannot bode well for Trump voters and supporters.

Would come back so his supporters and voters would have work. Looks like that is not happening.
Could it be possible regarding Right To Work laws that have basically crippled Unions in states that enacted them that keep wages down?

Will be viewed by them as taking away jobs that belong to therm.

(89,247 posts)4. Thanks jerry brown, dreamers, new tech , green energy etc
Pretty much thanks to the policies and values of liberals.
Supporting diverse communities and investment in education helps to create jobs, not take them away.

Of course Trump voters will blame Liberals for the jobs they did not get that pay above Minimum Wage or below Union scale.
Whiners.
