A Record 4.8 Million Jobs Created in June, Beating Record Set Last Month

A Record 4.8 Million Jobs Created in June, Beating Record Set Last Month

Our Nation’s economy has broken another record as 4.8 million jobs were added in June, bringing the economic comeback to 7.5 million jobs added over the past two months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ June Employment Situation report.

May and June rank as the two largest monthly jobs gains in history, with June’s numbers exceeding expectations once again. In June, nearly every major employment sector enjoyed a gain in jobs, with the leisure and hospitality industry seeing a gain of 2.1 million and retail trade increasing by 740,000. These gains likely reflect the reopening of State economies from May (based on the work week including May 12) through June (based on the work week including June 12).

Millions of Americans have felt the costs of the economic shutdown due to COVID-19, and while the speed of this recovery has far exceeded expectations, jobs have still not recovered the ground lost since the economic shutdown began. From February to April, nearly 22.2 million total jobs were lost. Over the past two months, 7.5 million (33.8 percent) of those jobs have returned. Figure 1 shows that while the leisure and hospitality industry saw the largest gains over the past two months, the industry still has 4.8 million jobs to make up to reach its pre-COVID level.

Additionally, the BLS June Employment Situation report estimates that the overall unemployment rate fell by a record 2.2 percentage points in June to 11.1 percent, and by 3.6 percentage points over the past two months.

Even the 3.6 percentage point reduction in the official unemployment rate since April likely understates the actual progress made. As BLS Commissioner William Beach recently explained, the unique circumstances COVID-19 caused has led the household employment survey to misclassify some workers as “employed” who should have been classified as “unemployed” due to temporary business closures. As the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) has previously noted in our May 8th blog, addressing this issue could have resulted in an unemployment rate upward of 19 percent in April. When accounting for this misclassification, CEA finds that the unemployment rate of 19.6 percent in April has fallen to 12.3 percent as of June (see figure 2). This 7.2 percentage point reduction is twice as large as the 3.6 percentage point reduction in the official unemployment rate over the same period.

The economic comeback has reduced unemployment across the board for several demographic groups. According to the BLS, the unemployment rate fell by 3.1 percentage points for Hispanic Americans and by 1.4 percentage points for Black Americans. In fact, Black Americans enjoyed the second largest employment gain on record, and female Black Americans over age 20 experienced the largest employment gain on record. Additionally, the female unemployment rate fell by 2.7 percentage points, which is larger than the decrease for men for the second straight month. As America’s businesses have reopened, teenagers saw a 6.7 percentage point unemployment rate reduction last month, consistent with the large job gains in the leisure and hospitality and retail trade industries.

While June’s jobs report is undoubtedly positive news for our Nation, millions of Americans continue to suffer due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An increasing number of long-term unemployed workers remain, low-wage earners still make up a smaller portion of the labor force, and more than one in every ten workers remains unemployed. The successes in the jobs report, however, should provide a source of optimism for all Americans as we look toward the future.

For two consecutive months, we have experienced the largest job gains in history, and the resilience of the American people remains strong as we have recovered roughly one-third of the COVID-related job losses from March and April. As we look ahead, we should be mindful of the work that remains, so that the forgotten Americans are forgotten no more.

Trump Is Right: Cops Kill More White People Than Black People

Jul 15, 2020

RUSH: Donald Trump yesterday was asked why are African-Americans still dying at the hands of the cops in this country. And you know what the president said? He said, “So are white people.” And the freakout began. But it’s a true statement.

It’s a true statement, but because the president refused to accept the premise — it was a question asked by Catherine Herridge of CBS, formerly of the Fox News Channel. See, this is how it’s done. And, by the way, Catherine Herridge, she’s okay. “Why are African-Americans still dying at the hands of law enforcement?”

“So are white people.” It’s true. In fact, more white people are killed by cops than black people. You can’t say that. You can’t say that. It goes against the narrative of Black Lives Matter. You can’t say it. But it happens to be true.

Here are the relevant sound bites. This morning on CBS This Morning senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge played a report where she interviewed Trump during a segment about race and politics.

HERRIDGE: You said George Floyd’s death was a terrible thing.

THE PRESIDENT: Terrible.

HERRIDGE: Why are African-Americans still dying at the hands of law enforcement in this country?

THE PRESIDENT: And so are white people, so are white people. What a terrible question to ask. So are white people. More white people, by the way. More white people.

RUSH: What a terrible question to ask. Now, his answer is factual. But because it doesn’t follow the narrative it’s considered controversial and racist and blasphemous and all the other horrible things that Trump is. Then later in the telecast of this show, CBS This Morning, Catherine Herridge said this.

HERRIDGE: Suggests that black people are about three times more likely to be killed by police than white people, but the overall number of white people killed is higher because white people make up a larger percentage of the overall population.

RUSH: Okay. So research suggests that black people are about three times more likely — suggests. Research suggests. Science doesn’t suggest anything. Science concludes. If it suggests, it’s not science. And I’m not just playing games with words here, I’m being literal. But the overall number of white people killed by cops is higher than the number of black people killed by cops. It’s undeniable.

CNN was not happy about this. CNN very disturbed. Little Bakari Sellers was on with Alisyn Camerota this morning to talk about this. Actually a state representative of South Carolina, Bakari Sellers, and Camerota said, “What was that response? He was very angry about even getting that question about African-Americans being killed by the police.”

SELLERS: The response was a lie, that’s what it was. What we do know and what statistics show us is that African-Americans are three-and-a-half more times more likely to die from use of force than white people in this country. They’re more likely to incur use of force than white people in this country. And we have a serious problem. I can honestly tell you that if George Floyd was white, then he would probably still be alive today.

RUSH: Well, “ifs.” I’ll tell you, if George Floyd had been white and the same thing happened, we probably wouldn’t have seen the story. But, boy, that’s a controversial thing to say too. If you say that to the wrong people, oh, man, are they gonna get in your chili. But it’s truth. So, you see, science suggests three and a half times more likely but the overall numbers are what they are, and they are undeniable.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: And look at this. Forbes is reporting that Black Lives Matter murals are being defaced in cities throughout the country. It says here: “A Black Lives Matter mural outside of Chicago was painted over to read ‘All Lives Matter’ earlier this week, the latest occurrence of what has become a nationwide trend in recent weeks of vandals defacing similar BLM murals.”

Notice that Black Lives Matter painting in our streets is not considered vandalism. You can put Black Lives Matter in front of Trump Tower at 5th Avenue, the mayor come out there and help people paint it, and that’s not considered defacing anything or vandalism.

“The U.S. painfully comes to terms with an evolving public dialogue centered around racism following the death of George Floyd.” So let’s see. We have Black Lives Matter murals in Oak Park, Illinois, that’s a suburb north of Chicago, vandalized Tuesday night. “Overnight Monday into Tuesday, Martinez, California, local cops open investigation after White Lives Matter was illegally painted onto a roadway.” Black Lives Matter, they can paint over anything, it’s not illegal. White Lives Matter, you’re flirting with lawbreaking.

Let’s see. “On Monday, state police in Vermont informed the Attorney General’s Office that two Black Lives Matter roadway murals and a ‘Black Trans Lives Matter’ mural were defaced. Last month in Baltimore, chalk messages written by elementary students on their school’s walls in support of the Black Lives Matter movement were power-washed away by adults.”

So it appears that there is some pushback going out there. I would also say painting on pavement is not a mural, but that’s just me. A mural goes on wall. It comes from the French word, mur, m-u-r, which means wall. It’s a Latin word, which means anti-immigration at the end of the day.
