CONTEXT: Job growth under Trump was equivalent to under Obama until Mar/Apr 2020, when 22M jobs were lost due to COVID shutdowns. FACT CHECK: Even during COVID shutdowns, the black unemployment rate was lower than in the 1980s. Current rate is the same as pre-COVID. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS14000006 https://www.politifact.com/article/2024/may/09/fact-checking-joe-biden-on-the-economy-in-cnn-inte/ https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/bidens-job-growth-chart-ignores-impact-of-pandemic/
