Make no mistake, a Donald Trump presidency would be a disaster for our country. So we thought it would be good to jog everyone's memories on just how bad Trump is on the economy. Here are 10 things you should remember (after the jump).

Tonight is the third and final presidential debate, and we hope that the nominees will finally discuss the issues facing older Americans: expanding Social Security, strengthening Medicare, protecting earned pension benefits and reining in the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs.

Fifteen percent of the U.S. population is older than age 65. That number is expected to grow to 20%, or 1 in 5 people by 2030. Ensuring that all Americans have a secure and healthy retirement after a lifetime of work should be at the top of the next president’s agenda.

Yes, Anthony “the Mooch” Scaramucci, a multimillionaire and top economic adviser to the Donald, just compared stockbrokers to African American slaves. Apparently the Mooch feels like a new rule that protects the savings of working people is so hard on stockbrokers that it’s like that time the Supreme Court said people of African descent could never claim U.S. citizenship! Poor little rich guy.

We can assume that Donald Trump isn't spending much time preparing for tomorrow's debate. One thing we know he won't be doing instead of debate prep is taking the time to help out the working people who make Vegas work. He says he's for all workers. But his record shows that he certainly isn't for those who work at his hotel, like Celia. Immigrants like Celia move to Las Vegas for a better life. Trump refuses to recognize this. Watch her tell her story in this video.

In an election cycle that seems mired down with nastiness, Hillary Clinton’s New College Compact is a breath of fresh air—and it offers a lot of breathing room for those struggling with the high cost of higher education. 

Jason Kander is firing up the imagination of the citizens of the Show Me State and hoping to wrest the Senate seat from Republican Roy Blunt.

Kander, an army captain who served his country in Afghanistan, is a former union member of the United Transportation Union, where he represented other members hurt on the job. Now he wants to serve all Missourians in the U.S. Senate.

Important elections are coming this fall. In addition to electing the next president of the United States, we will be voting for members of Congress, and state and local leaders. The outcome of these elections is likely to have a direct impact on your life, from the president, who will make lifetime appointments, to the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court and other federal courts to the city council members, who will decide whether or not you get that stoplight at the dangerous intersection near your home.

Every week, we bring you a roundup of the top news and commentary about issues and events important to working families. Here’s this week’s Working People Weekly List.

As a member of United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 23 in Pittsburgh, Will Reynolds Young is making a difference in his community.

Dennis Mitchell builds tires at a plant in Buffalo, New York, alongside his co-workers in United Steelworkers (USW) Local 135. In this election season, he’s also busy talking to voters about strengthening the middle class and making sure working people across the country can get good-paying jobs.

At the second presidential debate, Donald Trump asked the American public to "look at what’s happening to steel and the cost of steel, and China dumping vast amounts of steel all over the United States, which essentially is killing our steelworkers and our steel companies." We did and so did Newsweek. The report, published last week, showed us yet again that all Trump does is run his mouth and pad his pockets. The Newsweek report found Trump used cheap Chinese steel and aluminum in two of his recent construction projects and went to great lengths to cover his tracks. Donald Trump turned his back on the U.S. steel and aluminum industries but, somehow, is claiming to be its savior. Trump can't be trusted and has given hardworking Americans yet another reason to cast their ballot for Hillary Clinton.

Each week, we take a look at the biggest friends and foes of labor. We celebrate the workers winning big and small battles, and we shame the companies or people trying to deny working people their rights.

Another presidential debate, another night of Donald Trump making a joke of the issues and concerns that are important to working people. Once again, it was clear that Hillary Clinton is on our side, which is why we're with her.

Leona Helmsley famously said that "Only the little people pay taxes." In a recent presidential debate, Donald Trump bragged that not paying taxes makes him "smart."

A lot of alarming myths are being spread in this campaign season by candidates like Donald Trump who want to generate fear of immigrants and division between working people. Let’s focus on the facts instead.

Get ready for tonight's presidential debate by checking out this video of Randie, a steelworker from Toledo, Ohio. She talks about what's at stake in this presidential election and why she thinks Hillary Clinton is the only person qualified for the job. Randie survived cancer but she's afraid America wouldn't be able to survive Donald Trump.

It's time once again to take a look at the battles for the rights of working families in the states. Here is what the unions in the states are talking about this week. Click on any of the links to follow the state federations and labor councils on Twitter.

The U.S. economy added 156,000 jobs in September and unemployment was little changed at 5.0%, according to figures released this morning by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

At last week's presidential debate, America’s working women got a front-row seat to Donald Trump’s sexism. He repeatedly interrupted Hillary Clinton, a phenomenon too many working women can relate to, and repeated his claims that she doesn’t have the "presidential look" it takes to lead the United States. It seems like every day a new story from Trump’s past reveals more misogyny. Take the latest story out of his golf club in Palos Verdes, Calif., where Trump urged staff to fire unattractive hostesses and only hire "beautiful women."
