Anyone recall Biden saying “you ain’t Black”?
Fast forward a few months.
Not only was there a pitiful jobs report. The unemployment rate dropped to 5.2 percent from 5.4 percent, in line with estimates. But the August 2021 jobs report showed that unemployment among Black workers rose in August to 8.8 percent from 8.2 percent in July. The white unemployment rate, meanwhile, fell to 4.5 percent from 4.8 percent and the Asian unemployment rate dropped to 4.6 percent from 5.3 percent.
The unemployment rate for Hispanic and Latino workers inched lower to 6.4 percent from 6.6 percent.
Interestingly enough, Biden’s “back in chains” video seems appropriate at this point, unfortunately the video has been scrubbed.
Black unemployment rises in jobs report despite more job seekers
