Black Unemployment Was at 4.7% Under Biden...Its Now at 7.1%

[Lockback]

You lied, son. And you were caught.

You should not lie when I'm around. When will you liars ever learn?

Oh, you're just so full of yourself, I could puke.
I got the basics right, which was the under Trump, black unemployment was at its lowest rate ever. Not at the end of his term.
Okay, you got that part right. I shouldn't have said that.
Now GFY,
You people are so goddam petty. You're like children.
You can't give Trump any credit, what with your TDS mental illness and all.

Donald Trump: The Most Destructive President for Black Americans in 65 Years

We will remember this OP, we will.

Asians are doing fine.

 

[Political-Junkie]

Nope Trump didn’t have a DEI program

No xiden starred at 5.3, folks were laid off because of the covid virus, and went back to work

Presidents don't "hire" anyone outside of their cabinet and US judges. Private companies do. So pretending like there's some magical on/off switch regarding hiring just doesn't exist.

And your 5.3 figure also doesn't exist. The BLS says that number was 9.4%.

Sad Sad Leroy Brown
Blames every white like a god damned clown
Dumber than a rotten log, and spewing lies just like a hog

“I can say for sure that happens because I did it. Before retirement, I was an Engineer. For the last 20 years of my career, I was a Manager and Director and I hired hundreds of people. I reviewed well over a thousand resumes for all kinds of positions. Everything from Secretaries to Engineering Managers. Both Salary and Hourly. I always culled out the resumes with

Black Ethnic names. Never shortlisted anybody with a Black Ethnic name. Never hired them.”

Since the Fortune 50 company I worked for had a stupid “affirmative action” hiring policies I never mentioned it to anybody and I always got away with it. A couple of times I was instructed to improve my departmental “diversity” demographics but I always ignored it and never got into any trouble. My stereotype is that anybody with a stupid ghetto Black ethnic name is probably worthless. I could have been wrong a couple of times but I was also probably right 99% of the time.
Glad I did it. I would do it again.”

You can remake all the lies you want, white ---, but the truth will never change.

And it is that truth, you can't face. White men are the original beneficiaries of whatever you think DEI is. You are a DEI hire, white man.

It was the lowest when Trump did it. Now the lowest is Biden's 5.1%.

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

Nobody works three jobs. That's bullshit.

Trump doesn't get credit for what he didn't do. Black unemployment was dropping when Trump took office the first time, and his policies had no influence. Biden set the record, and when he left, black unemployment was still lower than Trump's "record." Biden had to rebuild the economy; he did not inherit a growing economy with unemployment in a downward trend.

That's what Trump got from Obama.

Trump didn't do it. The most accurate description is that Trump was in office when black unemployment fell to 5.3 percent.

Presidents are in charge of the executive branch of govt they hire numerous people

It’s the largest branch

They nominate judges, they don’t hire them

The different branches of govt hire all sorts of people. Govt is the largest employer

5.3 was black UE in August of 2019

Trump's record was 5.3%. It was 6.2% when Biden left office.

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.

Actually, as we are discovering, the illegals are just signing up to run a daycare center and home hospice to the tune of billions of dollars.

Trump's policies did not create the record. Trump was in office when it happened, but if Hillary had been president, she would have been there for the same record. Black unemployment was not 5.3 when Trump left office.

Except you totally ignored that that theory was turned on it's ears. Because blacks, who are just one step higher on the food chain from the illegal immigrants, were the one's getting hired, and not being displaced by lower wage workers.

 

[meaner gene]

Trump's record was 5.3%. It was 6.2% when Biden left office.

And now it's at 7.1%

As of March 2026, the U.S. unemployment rate for Black or African Americans is 7.1%, according to Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED).

Asians are doing fine.

That tracks considering the specific anti-Blackness of the Republican Party, now being ruled over by Donald Trump.
