United State report on unemployment rate drop leaves out African Americans, Asians

US President Donald Trump recently championed a job report that showed that unemployment rate in America h dropped in month of May. This comes after initial projections pegged unemployment rate at 20% but data showed a start drop to 13.3% in May from 14.7% in April as businesses began to reopen and hire back workers after lockdown phase.

However, that report states that while overall unemployment rate has gone down,  benefit is t being reaped by everyone. African-American and Asian communities in United States have actually seen unemployment rates go up slightly, exposing racial divides in country yet again.

While this may be somewhat good news and signals that worse of crisis is over, unemployment among African-Americans rose from 16.7% to 16.8% in May and while for Asian communities that mark went from 14.5% to 15%, as per reports. Experts has said statistics show that after a period of crisis such as coronavirus pandemic, employment for black and Asian communities rmalises at a much slower rate.
