The unemployment rate for black Americans fell to single digits in April for the first time in nearly seven years.
At the same time, the jobless rate among Asian-Americans rose for the first time in six months.
The black unemployment rate in April was 9.6 percent, the lowest level since June 2008. During the financial crisis and recession, the rate had risen as high as 16.8 percent.

could just possibly BE that a great number of blacks have simply fallen off the roles??
Why wouldn't this be the case, there has been an upswing in riots so they are now gainfully employed in this administrations eyes.
It’s quite possible if you’re counting rioting “Youths”.
Hey! I've got some prime land on (sometimes IN) a bayou down in Mississippi I'll sell you!

I guess they took off time from work to go to Ferguson and Baltimore to protest and go shopping.../s
Ahem.....”off” the roles?
Probably because even more blacks have just fallen out of the labor force. Thanks, Barack.

I’m pretty much down to grocery shopping once a day or two nearby getting meats and such that are at the “sell by” dates just to cut some slack in the food for “still-working Wifey” for when she gets home at night.
Yesterday...as it was the National Day Of Prayer....I wasnt nearly as INFURIATED by Obama’s GAMES.
Today again....it’s back to normal!!
I just came back from a three hour meeting where I was told retirees eligible for Medicare would be transitioned off to a health care exchange in 2016.
“could just possibly BE that a great number of blacks have simply fallen off the roles?? “
They could only have fallen off their roles, is if they are unemployed actors?
Is “youths” racist? (sarcasm)
Hail Np..../s
