Black unemployment

[Loving91390]

Who cares what unemployments rates are? Americans who have jobs, or want jobs, or want an economy that works.

IF they want a job ... they will get a job .

labor participation rate going back up. we added 225k jobs in January,but 500k entered the work force!
That means employment is available and more attractive then staying on the sidelines

we are adding good jobs -manufacturing is back up again as well.

I hate this "Obama did this and Trump did that" -they both get full credit for their roles.
Obama got us out of the recession by the stimulus when many were saying go the austerity route Europe used. He gets credit for that.

Trump de-regulated the mindless bureaucrats, and as a result added 500k manufacturing jobs while Obama lost 200k and claimd they were "never coming back without a magic wand"

Both POTUS get credit for their roles

lol............ DO you support those same folks doing it to other entrepreneurs w/ their patents & armies of attorneys??

Why is what I wrote funny? Is it wrong?

What do you have in mind? The pharmaceutical industry? Generally speaking no I don’t support legislation that empowers big firms who can afford the massive accounting and legal staff to deal with it and hurts medium to small business. We need a more dynamic economy, not less. And in many places we over regulate which takes away from that dynamism

Not only them but tech also, IMHO they are just as bad, if not worse-stiffing innovation..

Ignoring those rules/laws is what makes China the #1.5 economy on the planet...

Back in August. Obama brought black unemployment rates from very high to record low. They continued to drop a bit under trump, and then after August they started creeping up.

The question was, “When was black unemployment LOWER THAN IT IS NOW???”

You dodged the question, Walter.

Stop obfuscating.

[Walt]

The question was, “When was black unemployment LOWER THAN IT IS NOW???”

It has been creeping higher since August, so the answer is that it was lower than it is now in August, September, October, and December. That is what creeping higher means. Often black unemployment is a leading indicator for general unemployment, and now we see general unemployment also creeping higher.

I am not particularly worried about it. Unemployment has been so low since 2014, it was bound to start rising at some point. In fact, excessively low unemployment can cause economic damage.

What does worry me is trump has spent a huge amount of money on stimulus, and all we are getting is 2% growth. The bill is going to come due for that stimulus, and we do not have the growth to pay for it. trump is not good at paying bills in general.

[Walt]

We keep coming back to the fact that the last 6 years have been pretty good. trump can take credit for continuing Obama's success, but he has no great success to show that only happened after he was elected.

The real question is:

WHY DOES BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT HAVE TO BE SEPARATED FROM WHITE UNEMPLOYMENT?

WHY AREN'T WE DISCUSSING THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATES OF ASIANS, CANADIANS, ITALIANS ETC???????????

I'll tell you why, because you all won't be honest........BECAUSE WHITE CORPORATIONS STILL DON'T HIRE BLACKS............THEY HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATING AGAINST US FOR CENTURIES and when they do, they pay them a lower wage than whites.

Oh and DUMP GETS NO CREDIT FOR ANYTHING.

STOP TREATING THIS FUCKING CROOK AS IF HE'S LEGIT.

HE'S NOT

[Sailor]

You, idiots, don't understand that blacks know if the economy tightens its belt, they are always the first notch. Yeah, lots of low paying miserable jobs exist. They are all on edge waiting for the owner to slash jobs because he needs a new yacht.

This is typical liberal racism. What the FUCK makes you think black people are only capable of getting "lots of low paying miserable jobs"?????????? I have news for you white liberal racist piece of shit, I am certain most black people have higher skill levels and better paying jobs than you ever will. STFU.

Most people want Clean Water & Air. Third World Countries just throw all their shit in the nearest river, in First World Countries there's Regulations preventing that. It costs Business lots of money to dispose of Waste in a safe manner. Bad on Business ... Good on People.

how's that working in michigan, again??????

[SmarterthanYou]

That was stupid and do not talk for me.

embrace the truth, ignorant one.

[SmarterthanYou]

lol............ DO you support those same folks doing it to other entrepreneurs w/ their patents & armies of attorneys??

There was no Obama success ! He TRIPLED my healthcare costs ... I hope he dies a painful death !

And let’s not mention he doubled our national debt !

Go suck his dick ... he will let you !
