                      THE COLORBLIND BOOM IN JOBS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, this week, Investor's 
Business Daily published an editorial titled: ``Colorblind Boom in 
Jobs.''
  The editorial begins: ``It may be a surprise, but President Trump is 
nowhere near as unpopular among minority voters as the biased 
mainstream media suggest. Why is that? In a word, jobs.
  ``Trump, it turns out, has been the most consequential President in 
history when it comes to minority employment. In June, for instance, 
the unemployment rate for Hispanics and Latinos 16 years and older fell 
to 4.6 percent, its lowest level ever. . . . ''
  African American unemployment of 6.5 percent ``represents the second 
lowest unemployment reading ever for Black Americans.
  ``As for Asian Americans, unemployment similarly bounced off its all-
time low. . . . ''
  ``The truth is, the ripping jobs growth that began when Trump entered 
office and picked up steam after his tax cuts has been good for 
everyone in America--even liberal media pundits.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Best wishes, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, with an impeccable record of 
service to be on the Supreme Court of the United States.
  Happy birthday, Jackson Gossett.
