                          STOCKS AND JOBS SOAR

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, the October jobs report 
was strong. The unemployment rate remains near a 50-year low, at 3.6 
percent, and 128,000 jobs were added. Employment of African Americans, 
Asian Americans, and Hispanics are at record highs.
  I am grateful for President Donald Trump's actions to create jobs by 
reducing taxes and regulations. All Americans have benefited, with 
stocks achieving an all-time record high. The Dow Jones Average has 
risen to over 28,000, for the first time in history, on Friday.
  With increased liquidity, jobs are created for small businesses and 
retirement accounts. The stock market, under President Donald Trump, 
has soared from 18,000 on election day to, now, over 28,000.
  By creating jobs, lowering unemployment, and consistently working to 
promote opportunities, President Trump is continuing his record of 
keeping his promises. Baseless attacks on the President by Democrats 
and fake news try to conceal these successes, but President Trump is 
focused to work for American families and jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
