"What have you got to lose?"

 

[LuckyDuck01!]

When you allow in tens of millions of illegal migrants and hire them, paying them less, you will have a higher unemployment percentage among the population.
You can thank the Democrats for that. They didn't want borders, knowing full well that millions would come in seeking work at reduced wages and vote Democrat because that was the party allowing it to happen.

That is the truth.

But also:

In 2025, over 300,000 Black women exited or were displaced from the labor force, largely driven by cuts to public-sector employment where they are heavily represented.​

Government jobs as welfare.

Trump inherited a black UE rate that was rising,

But the trend is now reversed and lowering Unemployment Rate - Black or African American


When did xiden get it down to four percent?

In fact the lowest it’s ever been was 4.8 percent in April 2023 when everyone got back to their trump jobs. But like all UE that didn’t last long as xiden’s economic policy too full effect and it started to rise

Prior to April 2023 the lowest ever recorded was in 2019

Except it was at 4% under Biden.... Its risen since your blob started deporting everyone with brown skin.

Care to explain?

I need a good laugh.

As stated...it’s 100% Trump’s fault. Thanks for the confirmation.

But over all unemployment hasn't been as low as it is now since 1969.

Given that many people have to work 2 and 3 jobs to make ends meet thanks to Trumpflation, Trumptariffs, and Trump’s @ $5 a gallon, I’m not surprised

It went from 4.7 in your OP (a historic low) and dropped to 4 in six posts. That's pretty good for laugh. Can we get it down to 3.5 or maybe 3?

Okay...4.7.

That's pretty good for laugh. Get we get it down to 3.5 or maybe 3?

So is your attempt at English? “Get we get”?

Nope, that also incudes state government workers.

Using government jobs as welfare is plain wrong. And maintaining unneeded programs is dumb.

That would be Bidenflation, we got that for no reason. But under Trump we are getting rid of a nuclear threat.

When was it four percent under Biden?

 

[Meathead]

Okay...4.7.

Can we get it down from 4 to 3.5 in a few more posts?

Hopefully they'll remember even more, is that once Dims are back in the WH, the country will be flooded by the third-world once again, with people who will drive their wages down.

What the OP doesn’t say is that UE for blacks and all Americans quickly reversed course and was rising from 2023 on ward…trump actually reversed that upward spike for blacks and it’s been going down the past couple months
