Unemployment Fell To New Record Low For African Americans In October

This is not good news for progressives, who want to keep blacks unemployed and on welfare. 

The Trump administration has marked another record breaking month for African American unemployment numbers. The jobless rate for black Americans fell to 5.4 percent in the month of October, which is the lowest ever on record.

Wow, a blowout JOBS number just out, adjusted for revisions and the General Motors strike, 303,000. This is far greater than expectations. USA ROCKS!

When broken down by gender, unemployment for black men hit a record low of 5.1 percent and black women saw their numbers hold steady at 4.8 percent.

President Trump touted his administration’s economic success last month at the Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House, saying:

“But you remember, I’d make speeches and I’d go through the list…I’d be talking about the African American community and I’d go through a list of worst poverty levels ever, worst crime ever, worst schools ever…at one big rally I had 25,000 people and I said ‘go with me what the hell do you have to lose?’ You went with me and now you have the best employment numbers you’ve ever had, the best poverty numbers and so its good.”

This is the third consecutive month of record low unemployment for the black community with the previous record set in August at 5.5 percent.
