The Lowering of the Unemployment Rate Among African Americans in North Omaha

OMAHA, NE - MAY 3: After the fourth and final day of a job training program Metro Community College in North Omaha, Isaiah Hall, 21, waits for the city bus that will take him toward home after spending time at the downtown public library on Thursday, May 3, 2018, in Omaha, NE. Over the past decade, concentrated efforts by various organizations in Omaha have helped drastically drive down the unemployment rate among African Americans, particularly in North Omaha, which is majority Black. While Donald Trump brags about how he has helped lower the national unemployment rate among Blacks, the city of Omaha has shown how a small group doing targeted employment bootcamps and workshops can help boost statistics with minimal help from the local, state, or federal government.
