New York Times Reports 'Black Workers' Wages Are Finally Rising' -- Headline Altered for Paper
By Tim Graham | February 8, 2020 10:05 AM EST
The New York Times published a rather shocking article for Saturday’s newspaper. Online, the headline was an attention-grabber:

Black Workers’ Wages Are Finally Rising
Their pay is increasing after a decade of stagnation. One man’s story shows the hope — and limitations — with that shift.

Wait. So black workers’ wages stagnated....all through the Obama presidency. This is a rather stunning headline. This is NOT the headline that made the Saturday paper, published on page B-1. Instead, it was “He’s Gained A Foothold, But Worries About Falling.”
Jeanna Smialek and Ben Casselman reported about Markus Mitchell of Philadelphia:

Just three years ago, he was making $13,000 working in the kitchen at a Chick-fil-A, feeling unsure about his future. Landing the $38,000-a-year position was the latest step in a rapid career ascent made possible in part by America’s record-long economic expansion and low unemployment rate.
President Trump frequently celebrates the experience of black workers, noting correctly that the group’s unemployment rate is at its lowest on record.
Their wages are also going up — a New York Times analysis of government data found that wage growth for black workers has accelerated recently after lagging for much of the decade-long economic expansion.

It’s not surprising that Mitchell’s emotions aren’t this sanguine. He worries about the rest of his neighborhood, and about how this good fortune could end: “A malignant reality lurks beneath the happy surface as black workers finally make job market progress. Not only did the gains take a decade of steady job growth to materialize, but they could evaporate at the first sign of economic weakness, as they did after previous expansions.”
And liberals would point out Mitchell rose through federally-supported Americorps. But the current economic facts are facts:

Mr. Mitchell’s story is, on one level, a lesson in the power of a strong labor market to lift up disadvantaged communities. When workers are scarce, companies are more likely to hire people without much experience or formal education, and to provide training to help those employees succeed.
Companies are also more likely to raise pay. Wage growth, which was sluggish for much of the recovery, has picked up in recent years, with the strongest gains among workers at the bottom of the earnings ladder, in jobs that are often concentrated in the service sector, like fast food and retail.

The Times story balances present success with their subject's future concerns:

He still doesn’t have a college degree. He is hoping that his certificate and experience make up for that, but they have yet to be tested in the crucible of a recession.
What happens to Mr. Mitchell and others like him has implications for the broader economy. Historically, the gains made during periods of low unemployment have proved transitory for black workers, who are among the last to benefit from a good economy and among the first to suffer in a downturn.
But there have been few past examples of a labor market as strong and sustained as the current one.

What Trump is trying to do is empower African Americans with self esteem by trying to better the work force they are employed in. Democrats try to stifle that with a carrot on a string called Welfare and a Vote for Democrats. But Trump is a racist, lol.

that depends, doesn't it? is the black community finally becoming "woke" at what the social welfare they got sold into really means and rebelling against it? or is the majority content for their low end hand outs? seems like the former.



and what would one of our resident "woke" posters (here's poking a stick in yer eye ecky9.5) who loves Bernie and socialist ideology and "hates" capitalist economics think of this? is he really "woke" or out of touch with the current majority in the black community?

Me thinks the AA vote will go for Trump bigly. Enterprise Zones, Criminal justice reform, lowest unemployment, lowest poverty levels. They won’t vote for a commie or a swishy walker. And they ain’t voting for Mini Mike either.

You're probably right. Besides Bloomberg and the other Democrat candidates talk at their constituents, regardless of race. Trump talks to them.

I think there will be an uptick for Trump in AA voting, but I think there will be a larger number that just don't turn out.

Dems will still get the majority for sure, but as a crucial base, I think Dems will suffer.

which is a WIN for Trump. he gets a larger share of the black vote, the Dem nominee gets less.


this of course is the fallacy of the so-called Democratic voting majority. they are inherently lazy voters. they don't turn out in the so-called majority numbers they supposedly have. if they did the Dems would win every election at every level. butt they don't.


what was perhaps the stupidest thing the Dems did in 2016? tell their base a LIE. Hillary had it in the bag. unbeatable. huge lead in the polls. so what did the Dem base do? exactly what they usually do .. they stayed home. and lost.


they should have LIED .. and told their base Hillary was losing in the polls by a mile.


oh and the fact that the libtard media repeatedly LIED and told the Republican base Trump was losing by double digits? it galvanized them to VOTE.

see how reverse psychology works?

NY,,,

[Clay Media]

Most successful blacks are employed in athletics, entertainment, theft and drug trades.

[rexdutchman]

NYC is falling apart because of Bloomie

[oeb11]

NYC deteriorates because of long-term Fascist DPST rule by ideology.
Do not forget Deblovia, and other Fascist DPST's who have contributed mightily to the decline.
