President Donald Trump said US workers are already benefitting from his economic policies.

“The average American worker has already seen a $500 wage increase this year,” Trump said during an August 26 Cabinet meeting.

Trump’s White House cherry-picked data that favours a higher earnings gain. Experts prefer a different measure, based on a larger sample size, that shows a smaller increase.
