REMARKS
Remarks by Vice President Pence at the Detroit Economic Club Luncheon
ECONOMY & JOBS
Issued on: August 19, 2019
The Sound Board Theater
Detroit, Michigan
12:15 P.M. EDT
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you all. Thank you for that warm welcome. To Gerry Anderson, thank you for those kind words. And what a pleasure it is to be able to bring back home the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, a son of Detroit, and a great, great champion for every American. (Applause.) Join me in thanking sen- or Secretary Ben Carson again. (Applause.)
....
And our economy is growing. The average household has seen their income go up by more than $5,000 a year. Wages are rising at the fastest pace in more than a decade. And maybe most important of all to the President and me: that wages are rising fastest for blue-collar working Americans. The forgotten men and women of America are forgotten no more. (Applause.)

My income hasn't gone up at all, in fact, I'm probably going to lose my job tomorrow.

has had their wages go up $5K.
Not saying it hasn't happened; but not in my circle of coworkers/friends/family.
