Under Democratic Presidents, Minorities Make Economic Gains - And So Do Whites | Scholars Strategy Network
Under Democratic presidents, black families’ incomes grew on average $895 dollars annually, but grew only by $142 dollars under Republicans. The black unemployment rate fell by a net 7.9 percentage points across the 26 years of Democratic leadership, but went up by a net of 13.7 points during 28 years of Republican presidencies. Across the years of Democratic leadership, black poverty declined by a net of 23.6 percentage points, but grew by three points when Republicans held the White House.
So fortunate that Presidents control every aspect of our economy, and Congress nor Senate does.
