The share of white and Hispanic folks who were employed increased last month, after falling precipitously in April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some 53.4% of whites and 52.8% of Hispanics were working last month, an increase of 1.5 percentage points or more for each compared to April.Unemployment rates for both groups fell last month to 12.4% and 17.6%, respectively, down from 14.2% for whites and 18.9% for Hispanics in April, both record highs.
Traditionally, the share of unemployed blacks is twice or more that of whites, except during the Great Recession, when the gap was smaller. Now, as businesses begin to rehire, the difference between the two rates widened again. "People will tout this #JobsReport as good & that we are recovering. Yet, we are leaving Black people behind again -- this is true by gender & age," tweeted Olugbenga Ajilore, senior economist at the left-leaning Center for American Progress.
