The Trump administration is contending its economic policies are unleashing overall growth not seen in decades, with unemployment nearing its historic low and annual GDP on track to reach three percent. Trump's supporters say his policies are bold and effective, pointing to more inclusive growth that is helping small businesses, reviving blue collar jobs, expanding labor force participation, and improving conditions in counties outside major metropolitan areas. Critics acknowledge that while growth remains strong, the president inherited a robust recovery that had been carefully steered by the Obama administration. They contend that the rich and major corporations are almost exclusively reaping the gains from Trump's tax policies, while workers struggle with wages that are failing to keep up with inflation.
