Churchill said: there are lies, damned lies & statistics.

You need to understand that the "good Numbers" have as much to do with the way the administration is counting the employed. If you work even one hour per week for pay, you are considered fully employed. This is a massive change from previous administrations where you were not considered employed unless you worked 40, then 32 then 20 hours per week.

Tech and professional jobs are plentiful in the warmer climates for a reason...companies like the warm climate! They like the tax offering, the lower cost of utilities, cheaper housing cost, etc. The article is geared to a specific group of blacks relocating to the South..upwardly mobile...Atlanta was already nearly 80% black when I was there in 1980...I moved there for the exact same reason...no professional jobs in the North...they were South or in California and Arizona...warm states...pockets of blue, like Atlanta and Charlotte are where northern transplants want to go...they are way more progressive than the rest of the state...

The downward trend since 2009 for everyone is lower with the largest gap being for black men. Too bad the wage gap and benefits gap are not equally distributed...more employed does not mean gainfully employed...

I agree that the job prospects are certainly picking up in some regions. The South seems to be attractive for many reasons and not just job growth. It may be the cost of housing and other lifestyle expenses in the North/Midwest that make the south attractive to young families. But I doubt all the insulting things DT has said and all the incompetence/corruption of his presidency will be forgotten by people of color regardless of employment conditions. And let's not forget that many Americans are having a hard time covering the expenses of health care, student debt, consumer debt, and may have 2 jobs to live the middle class lifestyle. And the jobs may not have good benefits like vacation, medical insurance, pensions, or sick day. People are in debt up to their eyeballs and household savings are at an all time low. Not to mention the savings of people near retirement. It's not all a rosy happy picture even if DT wants to try to convince us otherwise. Farmers and Retail businesses are feeling the pinch of the trade wars. Jobs are only one aspect of the economy to consider after all.

Redlining did goes on, just like gerrymandering!

Unemployment rates usually lag behind inflation rates by 3-5 years, due to the likely hood of jobs to be exported to other countries when inflation rates are high. Inflation rates have been low for a long time, and that has allowed job growth in the US.

I honestly do not know enough about it to make an informed comment. Anything I know is usually obtained from various propaganda news outlets which most of this is probably from.

Nope. Sure don't.
Not even a little bit.
