AFRICAN AMERICANS/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOBS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “Our Pledge to America’s Workers has secured commitments to over 16 million job and training opportunities from employers nationwide…
I mean, we have a problem that has about 22 different names, but I’ll just call it ‘the plague.’ But before the plague struck, we had the lowest African American and Hispanic American, Asian American unemployment ever. We had the most jobs we’ve ever had, almost 160 million jobs. We’ve never been in a position like that. Women were thriving. Best numbers ever. And since my election, more than half of those jobs — more than half; first time that’s ever happened — went to women. But now we want to get that all back.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump at the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board Meeting,” whitehouse.gov, June 26, 2020
