The first jobs report of the Biden administration saw black women the hardest hit by a slumping labor market.
Even though the nationwide unemployment rate fell in January, the unemployment rate for black women jumped from 7.7 percent to 9 percent, the biggest increase among demographic groups reported by the Department of Labor.
The unemployment rate for black men rose just one-tenth of a percentage point. The unemploymeent rate for white men rose three-tenths of a point to 6.2 percent. The unemployment rate for white women remained at 5.3 percent.
Asian unemployment also jumped in January. The rate went from 5.8 to 6.6 percent. The Department of Labor does not separate Asian unemployment by sex.
The unemployment rate for Hispanic men fell one-tenth of a percentage point to 8.9 percent. The rate for Hispanic women rose from 8.8 percent to 9.2 percent.
Two questions:
1.) If only one of the groups they mentioned had an unemployment rate that fell, how did the national rate go down? Sounds like the Dems are using Common Core to do this math
2.) If Black men/women aren't getting the jobs, White men/women aren't getting the jobs, Asian White men/women aren't getting the jobs, and White men/women aren't getting the jobs, and Hispanic women aren't getting the jobs then who the hell is?

The answer is, when people stop looking for jobs because unemployment runs out (labor participation) they are no longer counted against the unemployment number. And magically, the unemployment rate drops.
