Trade, Tariffs, and Soybeans
Trump has consistently claimed that exporters, those countries who are “ripping us off,” are paying the tariffs. However, the actual data tell a different story.
Another very troubling report from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). In their latest weekly economic snapshot they show that African Americans are the only group of workers who have seen their wages go down during the recession. As noted in our last post (see point 3), the official unemployment rate for African Americans is more than 50 percent higher than the national average (14.7% vs. 9.5%).
