Black unemployment at record lows - US govt stats

[Islandman]

Very Interesting......

Unemployment among black workers is at its lowest since at least the early 1970s, when the government began tracking the data.

The black unemployment rate of 6.8 percent in December was the lowest since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started tracking it in 1972, a year in which the rate ranged from 11.2 percent to 9.4 percent. In the 45 years the data has been tracked, the unemployment rate for black or African-American workers aged 16 years and older has never fallen below 7 percent.

Thanks Obama.

[Islandman]

Agreed. The graph in the story clearly shows where it was when Obama came to power and where it was when he left. It is a steady climb downhill.

The graph that is interesting is the DOW prior to Obama to present.

What is remarkable also, is the slope of that same graph post Trump.

Invariably, Obama gets the cake!!

Can we get rid of the myth that black people just want hand out and government welfare???

Isn't the tax cut government hand out to the large companies?

Is the cry for Opiod "sickness" a cry for welfare for certain red states?
