I received an email from the President (along with many others) and it is such good news that I want to share it This should be great news for Hillary's campaign just in time for the first debate.
Over the past eight years, we've made incredible progress in our economic recovery.
Our businesses have created more than 15 million new jobs since early 2010. Twenty million people now have the security of health coverage thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Together, we've turned around an economy in freefall and put it on a stronger, more durable course.
And last week, we got even more great news: the policies we've put in place since the recession have started to pay off in real ways for American families. Take a look at these charts:
(Snip - chart showing wages increasing at the highest one year rate in history.)
Last year, across every race and age group in America, incomes rose and the poverty rate fell. Folks’ typical household incomes rose by about $2,800 -- which is the fastest rate on record. The good news is that it went up for everybody, with folks at the middle and bottom of incomes seeing the largest gains, and those at the very top seeing the smallest gains.
By so many measures, our country is stronger and more prosperous than it was eight years ago.

I copied and pasted the entire text and charts on of the email on the link below. (Sorry I haven't figured out how to post charts and images on DU yet.)
