The American economy is providing jobs for younger African-Americans at an unprecedented level.
In July, the unemployment rate for African-Americans between the ages of 16 and 19 fell to a seasonally adjusted 17.7 percent, the lowest rate since the government began tallying the figures in the early 1970s.

I certainly agree OP. Unfortunately the LSM will bury the story if indeed they mention it at all.

At 17.7% when the over-all unemployment is less than 4%? Being a baby-daddy is still more lucrative without much effort. Don't get me wrong, this is a good thing, but I think the rate should much lower. Just my humble opinion.

Trump better watch it...with results like that he's sure to be kicked out of his White Supremacist club.
Seriously...Barack Obama was so clueless when it came to the economy. All he wanted to do was to tell businesses what they could not do, or. force them to comply with a thousand goofy regulations. Meanwhile, all of us suffered. He did NOTHING to make things better in his own neighborhood.
As things get better...let's hope the scales begin to fall from the eyes of Black people in this country. Those who continually promise that they'll "Fight for you" have been pedaling that line for almost sixty years with ZERO results.

Of course this is racist! Whitey is tired of paying welfare and pushing them into paying jobs. /S/

You didn’t build that Obama will take credit, and the sheeple will agree! Democrats will still get 80-90% African American vote.

Excellent.
Now is the GOP smart enough to start running ads on black oriented radio and TV to get this info out there?

Must be caused by Trumps “racism”.

Good news, which means the Democrats don't like it, and the MSM will not highlight this figure.
#9, if the Democrats only get 90% of the African-American vote, they lose a lot of elections across the country.
It's why they are all trying to paint the idea of anyone associated, or looking to vote for Trump, as a racist in the hope it distracts a bunch of people from voting for Trump, or maybe just staying home.
The biggest group of the African-American vote comes from women, which may illustrate why certain topics are mentioned or pursued. 96% of African-American women voted for Obama, and it fell to 94% in 2016, which some believe is what swayed the election. So, it may not take too much of a shift to improve the election prospect for Republicans.

#5 - The teen rate of unemployment is always higher than the adult rate. Not every teen needs or wants a job. Seventeen percent may seem high in comparison, but also in the black community those that value education and work face internal racism and are accused of "acting white". The fact that more black teens are finding value in wanting and holding a job is a great harbinger of better things to come.
MAGA - No one left behind.

#6 It’s hard for any teenager to get a job. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think under obummer it was inthe 60% range. I win, you win, everybody wins with Trump!!

This is absolutely wonderful! The value of having a job, working & serving, earning respect, having some independence by having some cash is incalculable. Even if a small portion of teens have a job that is a victory. Especially for young men it is vital to have a purpose & some responsibility - the positive feelings associated with being a grown-up doing something valuable will help keep them on track.

Oh no, highest black youth employment. I'm sure all those demonrats will now have a talking point about how President Trump is abusing black youth by giving them employment. They're all meant to stay on the plantation. How can this be?
