Quote:The survey-based measure of factory activity -- the year’s second-highest behind September, when storm-related supply delays boosted the index -- brings the 2017 average to 57.6, the best in 13 years. The latest gain extends a string of strong readings that’s been fueled by more domestic business investment, improving global economies and steady spending by American households.

A common refrain from companies surveyed, though, was difficulty finding highly-skilled labor, and some firms are paying higher wages to attract the workforce needed, ISM manufacturing survey committee chairman Timothy Fiore said on a conference call with reporters.

This type of news "trumps" everything else. When people see the economy improving and wages going up - everything else looks like sour grapes by the opposition.

It's always all about the economy no matter what either party says. Agreed though that it makes people ignore the opposition whoever that may be at the time.

Think of all the poor little Chinese and Taiwanese children that won't have jobs and will keep all of their fingers. This is just wrong...send our jobs overseas so that the poor little kids can work in sweat shops and receive great bodily harm.

I am going to vote Democrat from now on!
