Posted by ftgreeneg on Wed Jan 18 23:38:20 2017, in response to Re: President Obama's Legacy, posted by R2Chinatown on Wed Jan 18 22:30:03 2017. 1. Unemployment rate for blacks since recession according to the bureau of labor statistics ends Dec 2016 7.8 compared to 9.1 at Jan of 2008 an improvement(went up to high of 16.9 and back down through recession). Chart on website https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS140000062. Black Homeownership rates down slightly as with every other group at 41. in 2016 which is sagging I'll give Obama a failing mark for that. That has as much to do with bank loan practices and of course recession which caused rates to dip across the board. 3. Graduation rates are at highs across the board blacks included. For blacks at 74.6% at high compared to 67% in 2010. I can imagine before 2010 rates weren't as high as 74.6% High still needs to improve but on a good trajectory. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/promise/260/improve-high-school-graduation-rates/ Black college graduation rates have also improved 2 out of 3 of your facts aren't true |
