The national unemployment rate held steady at 7.6 percent. In addition, the economy added 195,000 jobs that month, a significantly higher than the 165,000 a Bloomberg survey of economists had estimated.
The Labor Department reported on Wednesday that for the week ending June 29, 343,000 people filed first-time claims for unemployment insurance, a decrease of 5,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 348,000. In addition, the total number of people filing initial claims for state unemployment benefits was 333,920, compared to 369,826 claims in the comparable week in 2012. [MORE]
Non-Whites are the Powerless Class. Neely Fuller explains that "in a socio-material system dominated by White Supremacists, all major decisions involving non-white people are made by White Supremacists. When a Black person needs serious help, he or she goes directly, or indirectly, to the White Supremacists and asks for that help.
Under White Supremacy, all non-white people, regardless of age, are "children." They are the servants to, the victims of, and the "children" under the power and direction of the White Supremacists. The White Supremacists are their bosses, their masters, and their major decision-makers. [thecode]
