Original Note:
It is inaccurate to say that the “black unemployment rate is at a record low.” Black unemployment is currently at 5.6% (Feb 2024). It was lower under Trump in August 2019 at 5.3% and it was lower under Biden April 2023 at 4.8%. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS14000006 https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/06/economy/black-unemployment-rate/index.html
