6 Lies and Truths About Black Unemployment

6 LIES AND TRUTHS ABOUT BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT UNDER TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION

Nationwide (SOURCE: BlackJobs.com) -- Since taking over the White House, President Donald Trump has had a lot to say about Black unemployment rates in the country. Some of what he has said has been true, some of it has been completely false, and some of it was true at one point but has since changed.

Here are 6 factors to consider about Trump's claims about Black unemployment:

#1 - During Obama's last month in office in January 2017, the Black unemployment rate was 7.8 percent. When Trump took office, he says that number dropped to 6.6 percent by July 2017. The Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed this. So, this was true.

#2 - In 2018, Trump tried to completely discredit former President Obama by saying that the economy added only 195,000 jobs for African-Americans under Obama's administration.  However, according to The New York Times, during Obama's 8 years in office, he added about three million jobs. So, this was a lie.

#3 - In 2018, Trump's White House Secretary, Sarah Sanders, said that had so far added 700,000 new jobs had been created for African Americans during his administration. This was true.

5 WAYS TO PREVENTING FINANCIAL CHILD ABUSE IN AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILIES

Demetris Curry, financial consultant

Huntsville, AL (BlackNews.com) -- A child doesn't have to be bruised to experience abuse. There are many other ways a child can be harmed. One being Financial Child Abuse.

Many parents don't abuse a child's financial life to be malicious, but rather because they really are not aware that it's happening. In addition, the parent may be applying the same financial methods that they were raised with from their parents.

Demetris Curry, Insurance and Financial Consultant, has dedicated her career to insure that each parent that she can touch, adjust their financial lifestyle, mindset and aid their child to a Healthy Financial future. This is the mission to her community program called Inspired For Greatness.

"When working with parents, I share with them my meaning of Financial Child Abuse, 'Neglecting to prepare for a child's financial needs, present and future'. Financial Child Abuse can leave lasting financial scars because children grow up without the clear boundaries they need for healthy financial development," says Demetris.
