Record black unemployment

The black unemployment rate, 6.7%, is the lowest ever recorded, but that's not how liberals/progressives see it. USA Today asks, "Why is unemployment for blacks 86% above the national average, and 116% above whites." Don't you love statistics? Not a mention in the USA Today article about 2010 black unemployment under Obama was 16.8%. It also notes the number of blacks in prison (1,609 per 100,000) compared to whites (274 per 100,000) and the difficulty in obtaining jobs with a prison record, without noting that blacks have an 8x higher crime rate than whites. Anything they can find to diminish Trump's accomplishments. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/05/06/black-unemployment-86-higher-than-us-average/39447773/

Higher minimum wage laws hurt minorities, youth and small businesses. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/minimum-wage-hikes-minority-youth-job-loss/
