Biden’s Labor Secretary Claims Administration Inherited Jobless Women, ‘Generations’ of Unemployment for Blacks

Marty Walsh, President Joe Biden’s pick to run the U.S. Department of Labor, said over the weekend the administration inherited unemployment rates for blacks and women that have existed for decades — ignoring the record-low joblessness for both demographics under the Trump administration.

“We need to make sure if we’re going to have a strong recovery, a strong equitable recovery, we need to get women back into the workforce,” Walsh said in an interview on taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR).

“And that’s something that the president’s focused on. It’s something that I’m focused on here at the Department of Labor, as well as our unemployment numbers in the black community,” Walsh said. “Today, it’s 9.7 percent.”

“So our communities of color have higher unemployment rates than their white counterparts right now,” he commented. “And we’ve always seen that discrepancy as far as, you know, going back generations.” 

Neither Martin nor Walsh reported that, in fact, during the Donald Trump presidency, unemployment fell to record lows for both blacks and women.

  1. As with any business, once you inherit the keys to the shop – YOU are now responsible.

    No saying the other person left you in a bad place. You bought the place and now the owner!

    Snowflakes everywhere.
