Trump is wrong about immigrants taking ‘Black jobs,’ economists say
==========
Former President Donald Trump claims immigrants are taking Black jobs; Economists dismiss the claim as false, citing tight job market and record-low Black unemployment; Trump campaign argues that undocumented immigrants pose a threat to Black employment; Black unemployment rate reached a record low of 4.8% in April 2023 during Biden's term; Unemployment rate among white workers was 3.3% in 2023; Share of job holders among Black people between the ages of 25 to 54 reached an all-time high of nearly 78%; Immigrants contribute to economic growth by filling jobs, paying taxes, and spending in their communities; Trump's use of the term 'Black jobs' draws criticism from economists, as it invokes a period of U.S. history when jobs were explicitly reserved for Black applicants; Economists argue that the phrase fails to acknowledge occupational segregation and progress made in addressing it; Economists criticize Trump's choice of words as offensive and ignoring the facts about the current economy and improvements over the last four years.
