The number of black Americans holding jobs in the United States rose 1.4 percent in July, according to data released by the Department of Labor Friday. That bested the 0.6 percent gain for white Americans and 0.7 percent gain for Hispanic Americans. The biggest jobs gains went to Asian Americans, who saw total employment rise by 5.1 percent.

Black Americans also saw a gain in the labor force participation rate, which rose two-tenths of a percentage point to 60.2 percent.

more proof we are one of the least racist nations on earth- We have done tremendous amounts of work to combat racism i n this country- but to listen to the left- Every white person is a hateful racist, and police just love to murder unarmed black people, and the wholesale murders are rampant throughout the police force

(DESPITE the FACT that only 2 unarmed black people were killed unjustifiably all of last year throughout the whole of the US, and the cops in those 2 cases were convicted)
