‘Good News’ of Record Low Unemployment Finally Registers on Univision
< < Go Back
The Trump administration’s winning record on Hispanic unemployment finally received a long overdue nod of recognition from top national Spanish-language media outlets Univision and CNN en Español.
As unemployment among the nation’s largest minority group fell for the second consecutive, record-setting month, both Univision and CNN en Español trumpeted the news in their principal national evening news programs.
However, the fact that tens of thousands of Hispanics across the country entered the workforce and got jobs last month was not news on Telemundo, Univision’s main rival in U.S. Spanish-language television. For the second month in a row, the principal national evening news program on Telemundo, along with those of lesser rivals Azteca América, Estrella TV and NTN24, all failed to include the news that Hispanic employment continued to dip to the lowest levels ever recorded, since the U.S. Department of Labor first started keeping records on the statistic, back in 1973.
