That just proves that Democrats love blacks and Republicans hate them.

Yeah, but...

July 2017’s rate of 7.4% is just one percentage point less than July of 2017’s 8.4%.

Kudos to BLS for getting the July, 2017 numbers by early August.

Its really about the economy, not the presidents.

The recession and higher unemployment begins as Obama takes office.

The opposite - including lower unemployment for “blacks” has been occurring since the economy started coming out of the recession in 2011. It has been improving since then, not just because Trump took office.

EVERYONE should get off this kick that EVERYTHING is related to “when X occupied the White House”. Macro economic movements are larger than the acts and actions of U.S. presidents.

Wow! I’m going to turn on CBS and wait for this story! I’m sure it will be on the top of the hour!

Black unemployment slashed from Obama to Trump! I’m going to sit here and hold my breath for the news!

Politically, there is GREAT advantage to pointing out Trump has been President when the lowest black unemployment has happened.

I also think the presence of a particular man in office DOES have an effect on the economy, though macrobeffexts are greater.

Trump really hit home when he asked blacks what they had to lose by voting for him; they endured misery under Obama, and even firmed Black Lives Matter as his presidency wound down...
