Black unemployment across the country is as low as it has been in years, according to the latest White House economic report.

Last year, Black unemployment levels reached record lows and is now just 5.3% compared to 9% three-plus years ago. No one person, administration or event can solely be given credit for this record level of Black employment, but these numbers are reason for optimism.

“It was really a strong year for Black workers,” Deputy Director of National Economic Council Daniel Hornung told The Atlanta Voice during a recent phone interview on Thursday afternoon.
