Job Market Optimism Now At Highest Level Ever Recorded

Cowbell.

The average American is more optimistic about their ability to find a job under the Trump administration than at any point previously recorded, according to a new poll.

Data released by Gallup on Monday showed 67 percent of Americans believe now is a "good time" to find a quality job. The results were buoyed across gender lines, with 71 percent of males and 59 percent of females decidedly optimistic about the job market.

The data stretched across all age, income, and education groups...

The numbers under President Trump stand in stark contrast to his predecessors. Prior to January of 2017, the number of respondents optimistic about the job market never inched above 50 percent. The poll also found that total optimism about the "availability of good jobs" has increased by 25 percentage points since November 2016.

Meanwhile, per PJMedia, a CBS poll says that 68% of the public gives Trump credit for the economy, with 35% saying he had a "great deal" of responsibility for the good economy, and another 33% saying he's "somewhat" responsible.

Oh, and for the sixth year in a row, the United States was the world's largest producer of fossil fuels.

It's important to remember that stored energy is a substitute for human labor. So the more energy we have, the more machines we can make run, and the more work we do as a species, resulting in more wealth for the human species to share and compete for.

Time is money. Energy is also money.

"Cowbell me, baby!"
