Every time I see jobs/unemployment broken down by ethnic ancestory I want to vomit.....To me, no one knows, its all propaganda except maybe in the inner cities....I never see, Italians hit hard by unemployment, Polish hit hard by unemployment, Irish hit hard by unemployment....its all crap and made to divide americans or give some ethnic a reason to bitch.

So far, Latinos are the only demographic group whose employment numbers have returned to pre-recession levels.

Actual hiring comes from real data obtained by the BLS establishment survey of 400,000 businesses.

The numbers used to compute unemployment rates come from a survey of 60,000 households.

Change the meaning of answers to the household survey's questions (and BLs can do that) to mean that people are no longer in the "pool" causes the unemployment rate to go down. Then extrapolate that to stand for 300+ million people where fewer people are participating. BLS admits to something like 1.2 million fewer, how many fewer Hispanic I do not know. Black unemployment rate went down also.. how many fewer black are participating?

Obama is using an old trick but it appears to be working; to wit, ignore millions of citizens as if they did not exist.

A number of policies were introduced which caused the unemployment figures to drop. Women were no longer included in the statistics so any women who remained out of work under the Nazi’s rule did not exist as far as the statistics were concerned.

In 1932-33 Hitler promised to reduce the unemployment rate. He did it. Obama is doing it too using Hitler's little tricks.

“While they make up only 15% of the country’s workforce, Latinos have racked up half the employment gains posted since the economy began adding jobs in early 2010, Labor Department data showed”

Except maybe in Alabama. HA!
