The US economy added 148,000 jobs in December, fewer than expected, according to a report Friday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, a 17-year low that supports the Federal Reserve's assertion that the economy is near full employment. The black unemployment rate fell to a record low of 6.8%.

A plunge in retail jobs, by 20,300, weighed on the labor market as brick-and-mortar stores continued to close.

Still, December was the 87th straight month in which employers hired more people than they fired, extending the longest stretch of job growth on record. The economy created 2.06 million jobs last year.

Excellent. Trump's economic policies benefit everyone.

But I'm sure liberals would still rather go back to the Obama era of creating a rift between black people and the police and trying to convince black people that they need to a nanny government to help them.

See, we actually want to get people back to work and feeling good about themselves. Democrats want to keep them scared and depending on the government to get by so they can control them.

So does this mean that Trump is racist because he's putting black people to work, allowing them to be self-sufficient and not dependent on the government as liberals would have them?

too bad the umemployment rate is a joke and only takes into account people who are actively looking for a legitimate job. the actual unemployed rate would be a lot higher if it actually reflected every single person who was employable but unemployed.

lol look at this salty liberal trying to make excuses

What's your point? Yes, the real unemployment rate is absolutely much higher than the reported statistics. However, the point is that whichever metric you're looking at, black unemployment is now better than ever. And yes, it's thanks to President Trump.

Trump's pro business policies are creating jobs and boosting the economy. Thus there's more opportunities for everyone, including black people.

He said "great news sandwich by TC's shitposting" which means he either thinks blacks hitting an all time low for unemployment rate is great news, or he means the mere mention of it is shitposting and that we should just be celebrating the net gain of jobs.

So there's the good news.
Then there's what the feels is TC's shitposting.

Where does this information, and the discussion that needs to accompany it, fit into that? Is it the good news or is it the shitposting?

I'm a bit skeptical about the unemployment rate, as it doesn't account for people that have dropped out of the labor force for an extended period of time and aren't actively seeking employment.

All in all though, I'm convinced the economy is in a transitional period between a "stable" but low-growth economy due to Obama/Fed rigging, and a somewhat less stable but high-growth economy due to Trump tax cuts and deregulation, characterized by a great deal of bullishness due to the simultaneous wealth generation and stability. But I don't think this will last, and we're overdue for a correction before organic growth resumes and we see a truly healthy economy.

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was little changed at 1.5 million in December and accounted for 22.9 percent of the unemployed. Over the year, the number of long-term unemployed declined by 354,000.

The labor force participation rate, at 62.7 percent, was unchanged over the month and over the year. The employment-population ratio was unchanged at 60.1 percent in December but was up by 0.3 percentage point over the year.

The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) was essentially unchanged at 4.9 million in December but was down by 639,000 over the year. These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job.
