20190801 Trump RALLY in Cincinnati

Holy smokes, I had no idea.
WOWOWWwwowooooiieee.
Ohio is experiencing a long-overdue economic comeback. WOWWW, I had no idea things were so good in Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cincinnati metro area economy topped $138 billion in 2017, outpacing U.S. growth for the first time in many years. Rick Kaglic and Tristan Young of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland recently reported: “Indications are that labor market [in Cincinnati] remains very tight in the region. The unemployment rate remained in a low range not seen in more than 15 years, and anecdotal reports suggest that hiring firms continued to struggle to find suitably skilled workers to fill open positions.”
Cleveland: Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland documents that thanks to the increase in jobs in construction and manufacturing, the unemployment rate is down to 5.1% and the “labor markets remain healthy.” Per capita GDP rose 3.4% in 2017 and the per capita GDP is closing in on a record-high $70,000 a year.
Columbus: According to Forbes, last year Columbus ranked as the 4th-hottest housing market in the United States and is now the 14th-largest city in America.
What accounts for the economic burst?
First —– Shale oil and gas revolution. Ohio sits atop the Marcellus Shale formation, with rich deposits of natural gas. This has brought tens of thousands of high-paying middle-class jobs, and new steel and chemical plants as well.
The biggest beneficiaries are Ohio families and businesses, which have saved $45 billion over the last decade on utility bills thanks to the record-low natural gas price. That’s almost $9,000 per family in savings for Ohioans over a decade.
Second —– The Trump Effect.
Donald Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation policies and pro-America energy policies have been a financial lightning bolt in Ohio — as they have been for so many states. All told, the Buckeye State is shattering economic vitality records on Trump’s watch. The number of available jobs just recently set a 21-year record, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And payrolls just reached a record 5.6 million last month. Seven or eight years ago, you would see shuttered buildings in Ohio with “for sale” signs. Now you see bustling businesses with “help wanted” signs nearly everywhere.
A few months after Trump entered office, I asked an auto repair shop owner outside of Cleveland how was business. He said: “Steve, it’s like the day after Trump’s election a light switch was flicked from off to on. And ever since then I’ve had more business than I can handle.” I hear that a lot.
