Black Unemployment Rate Rises Under Biden After Dropping To Historic Low Under Trump
American Lookout ^ | August 5, 2022 | Mike LaChance

Posted on 08/06/2022 2:36:17 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Under President Trump, the black unemployment rate fell to historically low levels, a fact that Democrats and the media never acknowledged.

This week, Democrats, the media and the Biden administration are bragging about the new jobs report, but failed to mention that the black unemployement rate is going up.

It’s amazing how selective they can be with the facts when it serves their purposes.

Townhall reports:

Labor Participation Drops in July As Black Unemployment Increases

The United States Department of Labor reported on Friday that 528,000 jobs were added in July, reducing the unemployment rate to 3.5 percent, down 0.1 percent from June’s read and a significant increase from the 372,000 jobs added in June.

July’s report outlined better economic news with several metrics returning to their pre-pandemic levels, but still showed that there are 900,000 more Americans who are not in the labor force but want a job compared to February 2020.

This is the key passage:

And while the Biden administration has been obsessed with diversity, equity, and inclusion, the Biden economy saw black unemployment tick up in July, from 5.8 percent to 6.0 percent — even while unemployment rates for other demographics decreased.

To their credit, CNBC actually mentioned this:

Despite a strong jobs report, unemployment inched higher for Black workers in July https://t.co/xqIrqr897C

— CNBC (@CNBC) August 5, 2022

The other thing to remember is that Biden is not creating jobs.

He is simply overseeing people returning to their jobs now that the pandemic is over.

He does not deserve any credit for that.

unemployment inched higher for Black workers

The smarmy little hypocrites say it "inched upward."

But a phone call to a leader by Trump became a headline worthy worst impeachable crime since Watergate.

So then more blacks voted for Biden over Trump. As Obama said: Elections have consequences.

Why the surprise? Democrats have always resented the GOP taking away their slaves. So, now they screw the economy so that more blacks will be available for re-enslavement. Just live the rest of your otherwise worthless life on the dole and vote like you are told and YOU ARE A SLAVE!

They voted for it. Hope they will learn from the suffering or just stay home next time.

But look at Detroit. Blacks are the most easily manipulated group of voters who vote against their self interest. Old Joe “put y’all back in chains.”

Suckers!

Sad we have to suffer for their low IQs.

And yet the majority will still vote Democrat.

Does the GOP have any kind of ground game of talking to Black voters in Black neighborhoods?

In 2016 Hillary Clinton lost while getting 89% of the Black vote. Today Civiqs has Black support for Joey at 61% figure out the math.

A waste of time.

That is 13% of the population, and it hasn't grown. So why waste precious time trying to convince a majority of a minority of voters whose population rates are stagnant, if not decreasing?

Better to spend time on Hispanics, where they are not going to vote lockstep 90% for the Dem each and every time (look what happened with that House race in Texas a few weeks ago).

When jobs go, whose jobs did they think were going to go
first?

Uncle Joe will assure everyone unemployment is there for them,
at twenty cents on the dollar.
