Original Note:
Although unemployment is still higher among black Americans, it hasn't gone "up 90%" as Vernon Jones claims. As per the same source used by Jones, unemployment among blacks is only 6%. The 90% does not refer to the unemployment rate, but the black / non-black ratio. https://thehill.com/business/4086459-black-workers-comprise-90-percent-of-recent-unemployment-spike-data-show/
