Black Unemployment at Lowest Level in 17 Years

23 Jun 2017


Unemployment among black Americans ages 16 years and over fell to 7.5 percent in May, its lowest level since December 2000.

Black unemployment has been on the decline since February — falling from (February) 8.1, (March) 8.0, (April) 7.9, and (May) 7.5 percent, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The national unemployment rate in May was 4.3 percent, its lowest level since May 2001.

Unemployment for black Americans has historically hovered below their white counterparts. The Great Recession drove black unemployment near Great Depression-era levels, reaching 16.8 percent in March 2010. While most Americans were feeling the negative affects of the housing crisis, it was black lawmakers who were beginning to publicly blame President Obama for black America’s morass.

In August 2011, Congresswoman Maxine Waters called the black unemployment rate “unconscionable.”

A month later, Waters hammered President Obama for failing to “acknowledge the economic disaster in the African American community” while addressing his jobs agenda in the battleground state of Iowa.

Days later, then-Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Emanuel Cleaver told reporters, “If Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House.”

Or maybe thank Newt. Remember the contract with America and "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 " ?

It required work for food stamps. In 2009 after the bankster mobsters raped the world economy, the work requirements were temporarily rolled back. Well, they have been rolling back in...

Scroll to bottom to see waiver status...

This has positive effect on employment

The waivers mostly follow (not lead) unemployment:

Quote

States may request to waive the ABAWD time limit in areas with an unemployment rate above 10 percent or a lack of sufficient jobs. SNAP regulations provide a number of ways States can demonstrate that an unemployment rate above 10 percent or a lack of sufficient jobs. Below is a summary of the common criteria by which States can qualify for a time limit waiver: (For complete regulations, please visit the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations).

A recent 12-month unemployment rate above 10 percent;
A recent 3-month unemployment rate above 10 percent;
Designation as Labor Surplus Area (LSA) by the Department of Labor;
Qualification for extended unemployment benefits; or
A recent 24-month average unemployment rate 20 percent above the national average for the same 24-month period.

Blacks are starting to realize they don't have to be kept down as the Democrats want so all they can do is vote Dem for free minimal shit; they can work, succeed, and become Republicans - the party that actually WANTS people to succeed!


Thank You, President Trump.
