Well, we know that the listed unemployment rate is still broken....so it still isn’t what it seems - but a good sign nonetheless.

So Trump has done more for blacks and other non-whites than Obama did in eight years. No wonder all those black players were taking a knee to protest Trump.

Assuming that this figure isn't coupled with an increase in blacks applying for Social Security Disability this is *excellent* news.
Get the wetbacks out so that our citizens...*all* our citizens...can make a decent,honest living!

“No wonder all those black players were taking a knee to protest Trump.”
That’s what you get when room temp IQs are taught to think that way for decades.

Answering the question:
What happens when your rhetoric about restricting illegal immigration causes illegal immigration to decline?

That means government jobs and call center jobs are growing, because they are overrepresented in those two areas.

Comparisons are valid so long as the measurements were taken on the same basis. The error factor should be a constant, and therefore the trend can be interpreted as valid, even if inaccurate.

“Unemployment rate” with a low labor-participation rate is very different from that with a high labor-participation rate. It’s going to take a while to absorb that pool, and get to the full benefits of true low/full employment.

Yup. Average black family earns at a rate $1000 a year higher than under Obama, with what was it 800,000 more employed?

Damn - Trump’s pushing them into the slavery of regular jobs - something Obama threatened but never did....at least Moochelle said Obama would require everyone to work when pushing for NobamaCare....
