The Colorblind Jobs Boom Under Trump Continues
Time to talk about diversity.
Quote:It may be a surprise, but President Trump is nowhere near as unpopular among minority voters as the biased mainstream media suggest. Why is that? In a word, jobs.
Trump, it turns out, has been the most consequential president in history when it comes to minority employment. In June, for instance, the unemployment rate for Hispanics and Latinos 16 years and older fell to 4.6%, its lowest level ever, from 4.9% in May. The previous all-time low was 4.8%.
African-American unemployment bounced up from its all-time low of 5.9% in May to 6.5% in June. But that 6.5% still represents the second-lowest unemployment reading ever for Black Americans.
As for Asian-Americans, unemployment similarly bounced off its all-time low of 2.1% in May, rising to 3.2%. And that’s still 0.6 percentage point lower than when Trump entered office.
Consider all the good news about minority employment when you hear reports of June’s “disappointing” jobs data.
The truth is, the ripping jobs growth that began when Trump entered office and picked up steam after his tax cuts has been good for everyone in America — even liberal media pundits.
And it’s also been good for Trump. Because quietly, he is winning over those who have benefited most from his policies: Minorities. On average, minority unemployment has dropped 18% since Trump entered office in January of 2017. More than 2 million people have dropped off food stamps and returned to work.
Despite a relentless media barrage aimed at Trump and his immigration policies, a new Harvard/Harris Poll found a 10% rise in approval for Trump among Hispanics.

Who has done more in the last 2 years for minorities, Trump or Maxine Waters?
Who has done more in the last 2 years for minorities? Trump or John Lewis?
Who has done more in the last 2 years for minorities? Trump or Hank Johnson?
Eventually, even the brainwashed sheeple will have to acknowledge most of them are far better off under Trump than they were under the Dem disaster of the past 8 years. Trump is not Bush. The media and the Dems need to wake up to that fact.
