Why has the unemployment rate gone down and wage growth gone up during Trump's presidency?

@gollum,
The unemployment rate has been dropping for the last eight years as the economy recovers from the the great recession. Once all the available workers are used up, employers start competing for better employees, usually by raising wages.
