Historic Employment Gains For Minorities Under Trump And Biden

U.S. President Donald Trump, left, and Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden attend the second and final presidential debate Oct. 22, 2020, at Belmont University in Nashvi

Former President Donald Trump claimed that Black, Asian American, and Hispanic workers experienced historic employment gains and record-low unemployment levels during his presidency. While there is some truth to his claims based on certain economic data points, these achievements have been surpassed during President Joe Biden's presidency.

It is true that the unemployment rate for Black, Hispanic, and Asian workers reached their lowest rates on record in 2019. This data has been issued by the government, with information for African Americans and Hispanics dating back to the early 1970s, and data for Asians going back to 2000.
