[See update below] On the morning of July 6, the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that Hispanic unemployment in the United States had reached its lowest level, 4.6%, in the 45 years since the agency first started keeping records on the statistic, back in 1973.
One would think such a historic achievement would be news that night on the nation's leading Spanish-language television news programs, but that was not the case. The principal national evening newscasts of Univision and Telemundo (sister network of NBC), along with their lesser-known rivals Azteca America and Estrella TV, all kept silent about the record low, and its significance for the country's Latino population. ...
UPDATE: The blackout on the record-setting low Hispanic unemployment extended through the weekend, as both Univision and Telemundo also failed to offer even a peep about it in their July 7 and July 8 national evening newscasts.
