Last month, the Trump administration set another good record regarding black unemployment. It set a record low of 5.9% back in May 2018. August's rate beat that with a 5.5% rate, lowest in US history.

Adding to that, Trump's record-setting highest median income ($61,400/yr), Democrats will have a hard time trying to tackle Trump in 2020, on the economy. For the stuff that really matters to American workers, no president has ever had better numbers. Perhaps that's why Democrat candidates are talking about just about every subject you could think of, other than the economy.

Sanders, Warren, Biden, et al are hoping for the economy to turn bad, to give them some strong talking points, but instead things keep on getting even BETTER.

Black unemployment rate hits record low
 
The election is over a year away. This economy could be in recession in a year. I’ll take Trump over anybody the Dems are trotting out, but don’t assume the economy won’t be an issue for Trump. How many times are you going to swallow the “China wants to talk” line?

China won't be an issue favorable to Democrats. It a big plus for Trump. Giving China unrestricted access to our market was an assinine thing done by 4 es US presidents.

Trump is the first US president to reverse this, and take on China, and their flooding of our economy with Chinese products. Even Chuck Schumer has been in agreement with Trump on this.

Now what specially has he done for black unemployment that he has not done for white unemployment??

Also:
In August, the gap narrowed so that black unemployment was under 162 percent of white unemployment. That is the smallest gap ever in records going back to January 1972.

They start counting black unemployment rates in 1972. It is lower now, so is the white unemployment, one of the reasons, is because the Civil rights act, signed in law by a Democrat.
----------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Black unemployment rate falls to record low

I would bet the unemployment rates is lowest for women now as well.

The higher you go the lower you fall. Obama got handed a 10% unemployment rate and he got it down to 4.7% in Dec 2016.

What is the female unemployment rate compared to 1972??

Thanks Obama, for an over decade long trend.

Corporate welfare is alive and well. Business should have asked for tax credits or something.

Democrats were in charge of the house when unemployment hit 10% you didn’t govern until bush left. America can’t operate that way, do things to to hurt the Republican Party to win.. these are people that are getting hurt while you power hungry insane Democrats pray for bad times during a republican administration.

The OP link answers everything you just wrote. if only people would read links. What Trump has done for black unemployment is lower it to its lowest level ever. Whether he has done this for white unemployment or not, hardly changes the fact that he HAS one it for blacks, who thereby, should be voting for him in 2020, in droves.


Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump


So if African-American unemployment is now at the lowest number in history, median income the highest, and you then add all of the other things I have done, how do Democrats, who have done NOTHING for African-Americans but TALK, win the Black Vote? And it will only get better!

Post does not match the quote. Changing the subject indicates cowardice.

And business doesn't have to ask for tax credits. They just got a huge reduction in the corporate tax. One of the main reasons our economy is the best of all the G7 countries. :biggrin:

FALSE! Obama doesn't get credit for ANY "trend". Trends are things that occur over long periods of time (years). The first 7 years of Onama was nothing more than ordinary economic recoil, after a severe recession. That could have happened if airheads like Arianna Grande or Joy Behar were president. When the economy finally settled, and Obama was on his own, his economy tanked > 2.3 GDP to 0.8, thankfully rescued by Trump in 2017.

And you missed the point. The trade was weighs heavy on the stock market and the economy. You can agree or disagree on whether the trade more is justified, but you can’t deny it slows our economy. I never said China was an issue, it’s the economy slowing caused by the trade war that will be an issue.

I was going to say he never told American born African-Americans to go back with they came from.
I guess I have to think of something else now.

He gave them jobs.
Not to mention prison reform.
Let me ask you this. What has he done for white people that excluded blacks?
He hasn't done anything for me other than lower my taxes which favors everyone.
