Last month, I visited Dempsey Wood Products in Orangeburg, South Carolina, to get a firsthand look at the positive impacts of the tax cuts creating jobs. Owner Parker Dempsey explained that they were able to expand their business due to the tax cuts. Dempsey Wood Products will be able to launch a $15 million project, creating jobs. Mr. Dempsey explained that: ``. . . we will have new equipment and the best technology. The plan is to get it up and going and start a second shift, and probably add another 40 jobs.'' Since President Donald Trump took office, the economy has created nearly 3 million jobs. The numbers of employed persons are the highest ever in the United States. The unemployment rate has fallen to 3.8 percent, matching the lowest level in 50 years. African American and Hispanic unemployment rates have reached record lows, and the unemployment rate for women has fallen to the lowest level since 1953. The National Federation of Independent Business, NFIB, small business optimism index is at one of the highest levels in 45 years. I appreciate the leadership of NFIB Director Ben Homeyer. In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
