Democratic warnings that President Trump would make life worse for minorities were discredited once again Friday, with the release of new unemployment statistics for December. In just under one year in office, the president and the Republican Congress have helped minorities make dramatic gains.
Since taking the reins from President Obama, President Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress have embraced free-market and pro-liberty economic policies. Now – after a year of reducing regulations, approving a tax cut, and encouraging stricter standards for numerous welfare programs at the state level – the economy is thriving. Working-age minorities are benefitting in ways they have rarely, if ever, have enjoyed in the modern era.
The U.S. Labor Department reported Friday that the unemployment rate for African-Americans fell to 6.8 percent in December – the lowest rate since recordkeeping began in 1972. That’s an astounding drop from the 8.3 percent black unemployment rate in October 2016, just before Donald Trump was elected president.
Hispanic unemployment was at a near-record low of 4.9 percent in December – down from 5.7 percent the month before the election of President Trump. Additionally, there were four months in 2017 in which the Hispanic seasonal unemployment fell below 5 percent – the only time that has occurred in a single year over the past 44 years.
Asian-Americans, the demographic group that typically has the lowest unemployment rate, enjoyed a 2.5 percent unemployment rate in December – the lowest figure since 2006.
The overall U.S. unemployment rate in December was 4.1 percent, matching the lowest level in 17 years – down from 4.9 percent in October 2016.
In addition to putting more Americans to work, President Trump’s economic and job-creation policies are creating once-in-a-lifetime economic opportunities.

Not to be mentioned by the msm.
Of course not
Trumps best line when campaigning for the urban vote...
“What have you got to lose?”
Makes no difference. Blacks will continue to hate but hispanics might get it.
Unless they give 0bama credit for it.
Are lying Democrats crediting Obama for this falling black unemployment rate yet.
But...but more jobs mean less family time together..that high unemployment was just the New Normal.(/S)
This article is absolute truth. That is why the leftist are desperate since
“russian collusion” became a laughing stock except for Hillary colluding and taking bribes from russians to sell them uranium to kill us with. Then it was that this genius is brain damaged . That didnt fly so they grasp at straws that the president can obstruct justice which is constitutionally impossible. They are out of bullets.It funny to watch them wiggle in pain. Go TRUMP!!
Some will wake up and flee the plantation.
It sure is.
I was just gonna ask - great, but do blacks and hispanics even recognize the improvement under Trump?
Or, blacks or hispanics..yet.
Now the media will REALLY hate him. In their eyes, it’s the worst thing he could do.
Maybe someday he can do something for military and retired.
Obviously he is crazy and has no concept of economics.
“Blacks will continue to hate but hispanics might get it.”
True. Trump got 2% more of the vote of Hispanics than Romney did. If the trend continues, by 2020 the fascist rats will be demanding that Hispanics be deported immediately in favor of Muslim terrorists.
May you live in interesting times, yes?
Brilliant line, wasn’t it?
No matter how bad they tell you life off the plantation is, at some point you have to realize you’re being bull$hitted.
Totally undercut the Democrat paradigm in 6 words that anyone could understand.
Makes no difference. Blacks will continue to hate but hispanics might get it.

As a group (not talking about individual exceptions, of which there are many) American Blacks show no inclination to walk away from the plantation that Massa LBJ and his successors corralled them in. Hispanics ran away from socialism south of the border and might be more open to the idea of American Exceptionalism based on freedom and liberty.
Democrats are not happy.
