Reason #39: Minority Families Have Suffered the Most during the Obama “Recovery”

Why Senate Democrats Should Act on 40 House-Passed Jobs Bills
September 17, 2014 — The Jobs Search   

​Minority Families Have Suffered the Most during the Obama “Recovery.” During the heart of the Obama “recovery,” the median income of minority families dropped by 9 percent, and their median net worth fell by 17 percent. In contrast, incomes and net worth for white families were essentially stable.
