San Diego County\u2019s unemployment has dropped to 2.8%, significantly lower than the 3.4% national unemployment rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An estimated 2,500 jobs in non-farm industries were created in November. Farming jobs fell by 600 from 8,700 in November to 8,100 in December. This is the third month in a row that the county\u2019s unemployment rate was below 3%.<\/span><\/p>\n

All this great news, however, hasn\u2019t stopped alarmism from Democrats who claim that only the rich are benefiting from the booming economy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sen. and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren\u2019s (D-MA) website claims that we need to \u201cbuild an economy that works for everyone\u201d and she has claimed on multiple occasions that the economy is only working for \u201cthe wealthy and well-connected.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to a tweet about the <\/span>Dow soaring past 29,000<\/span><\/a>, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dow soars, wages don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
