Black unemployment hits historic low​


(NewsNation) — The latest unemployment numbers show a surprisingly strong labor market, with unemployment for Black Americans hitting a record low.


The latest round of unemployment numbers defied predictions, with the rate continuing to drop even as inflation continues to soar.


Overall unemployment hit 3.4%, a number that is as low or lower than anything seen since 1969. For Black Americans, unemployment rates hit historic lows. Black men ages 20 and older had an unemployment rate of 4.5%, which is the lowest on record and the first time the unemployment rate for that group has been under 5% since the government began using the current unemployment tracking system in 1972.

Not to beat a dead horse but the unemployment numbers are misleading. Are black men gainfully employed in these careers that produce wealth and can support a family?
Another point is how many men are actually a part of the labor force as in actively looking for employment.
