The African-American unemployment rate dropped to a record low 5.9% in May, the Labor Department said Friday.

“We have reached...another all-time record low in African-American unemployment,” President Donald Trump said Friday. “We’re very honored by that.”
The unemployment rate for African-American teenagers has fallen to 19.8% from a high of 48.9% in 2010.
In the last three months, the unemployment rate for African-American women has dropped to 4.7% from 6%.
The jobless rate for whites is 3.5% and the employment gap between the races is the smallest since the government started to release this data in 1972.
