Among Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians, Black workers had the highest unemployment rate in December, 7.8%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Asians had the lowest at 2.6%.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Whites comprise 77.1% of the population. Blacks make up 13.3%; Hispanics, 17.6%; and Asians, 5.6%.
Asians make up the smallest percentage of the population (not counting American Indians or Pacific Islanders) and yet have the lowest unemployment in the nation.
For Whites, 16 and older, the unemployment rate was 4.3%. For Hispanics, 16 and older, the unemployment rate was 5.9% in December.
I don’t believe the accuracy of these stats. Unemployment is much higher when counting those who quit looking for work.
More Fake Polls.
Total BS.
Will be interesting after Trump takes office what the Real Unemployment #’s are. It will throw Barky into Fits! Lol.
Neither are less-than-full-time jobs. We’ve been lied to for years about these numbers. The one REAL number that isn’t a lie is the 95 Million Americans NOT working.
GIGO: Garbage in; garbage out.
Fake news! Give us actual unemployment!!!!! People who are NOT working! Do not assume that because they are off the employment rolls that they have a job that makes a living wage!
Black unemployment 7.8%?
If they included drug dealing and working for Soros to burn down towns as “employment” the unemployment rate for these folks would be 2% or less.
America is a big family with a lot of mouths to feed, and a lot of those mouths are doing chores around the house.
They control the narrative, fiction reigns supreme
I noticed these rather strange stats in this article:
Whites 77.1 percent
Blacks 13.3 percent
Hispanics 17.6 percent
Asians 5.6 percent
I’m not a wiz at math, that that looks like it adds up to about 113.6. I’m guessing they’re lumping in White Hispanics into the white group, and counting them again in the Hispanic group. Maybe they are also adding white-blacks and white Asians to the white group as well.
The U3 number is phony, for crooked failure politicians like J’Urkle Obama to lie that things are hunkie dory.
Trump should be using the U6 number now about 9.3 percent UE. As Trump improves the economy, people who have been UE for years will have hope that they will work again.
When the long term UE go back in the job market they will raise the fake U3 higher because its really a crap number of people looking for work.
The U6 number is a much more honest number.
I Tweeted Trump warning him to switch numbers so he can honestly show things are getting better or else with U3 the press will say he is a failure, even though jobs and growth in the economy GDP are getting better U3 doesn’t show that
Well, I guess we know who the hard workers are!
I’ve never seen an Asian panhandling.
Clearly you’ve never been to Thailand or Korea.
The phony Obama unemployment rate of 4.7% is used today as the millions who “aren’t looking for a job” aren’t counted as unemployed. Once Trump takes office just watch — they will be included and the real unemployment will be broadcast daily to make Trump look bad.
Martin Luther King remains to this day the greatest black leader in American history because of all the things Barry O could have accomplished while being President these past eight years, bettering race relations in the United States wasn’t one of them.
Unfortunately, Obama didn’t do squat and one could even argue that relations between races has deteriorated under his watch.
“Asian Indian” should not be confused with “Asian”.
RE: I’ve never seen an Asian panhandling.
You should go and visit some Asian countries then ...
