How true is this statement from a conservative I know: "Trump blessed America with the highest wages and lowest unemployment in history"?

Not true at all. The lowest unemployment rate was 1.44% in 1944. Adjusted for inflation, the highest average wage in the US was in 1973, the average American worker in 1973 earning the equivalent of $23.68 per hour today.

Unemployment was about 8% when Obama took office, around 4% when he left.  IT went a little lower under trump, due to the impact of Obama's policies.  To hear trump speak of it, unemployment was 90% when he came into office, and 1 when he left.  Sadly, his supporters believe him.
