The U.S. job market is booming! Just one day after the Labor Department’s employment-cost index found that American workers received the biggest pay increase in nearly a decade over the past year, new reports found that private payrolls in the U.S. increased by 219,000 in July.

While folks across the country are celebrating more money in their pockets, they’ll remember their Democratic Senator chose to side with coastal elites like Chuck Schumer over middle-class families back home.
