3 Economic Statistics Predict a Trump Win

Bad news for Clinton supporters How you interpret Friday’s jobs report depends on whom you are voting for next month.

If you are a Hillary Clinton supporter, you choose to emphasize the historically low level of official unemployment, rising wages, and a rising labor-force participation rate.
