So I was watching Meet the Press and they were showing the differences in two counties only 70 miles apart in Pennsylvania:
Change in earnings 2005 to 2016
Chester........................Schuylkill
$7,722..........................$4,140
Full Time job
64%...............................41%
Voted in 2016
80% .............................56%
Own home
74% .............................61%
Live in home state
50%..............................67%
Bach Degree
50%...............................15%
Median home listing
$380k............................$75k
Income
$89k...............................$47k
2012
Romney +0.2.................Romney +13
2016
Clinton +9.5...................Trump +43
Interviewing in Chester - college degree very important
Interviewing in Schuylkill - You don't need a college degree for most jobs.
---------------
Those were the statistics put out on the show. The theme was the differences between Red and Blue, not on the coasts, but every place else.
Obvious questions are:
Which place is more dependent on Obamacare? And now with the subsidies ended by Republicans this year, which group will suffer the most from a loss of healthcare starting Jan. 1st 2019?
Which group suffers most with jobs moving overseas?
Which group benefits the most with returning jobs being automated?
Schuylkill voted for Trump by +43. Will they get what was promised?
