In response to a question about President Donald Trump?s alleged use of a racial slur, Sanders told reporters that employment among African Americans had grown three times as much in the first 18 months of the president?s term as it it had during President Barack Obama?s eight years in office, citing the White House Council of Economic Advisors (CEA).
Employment did fall early in Obama?s first term, during the tail end of the Great Recession, but was growing again at the start of the second Obama term.
The Labor Department?s July non-farm jobs report revealed that unemployment in the United States was below 4%, and that African Americans remained the least employed group of adult workers, with an unemployment rate of 6.6%.
