The growing economy under President Donald Trump is bringing back jobs for black workers and creating a thriving business environment, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, Robert Johnson, told CNBC.

“You have to take encouragement from what’s happening in the labor force and the job market,” Johnson said. “When you look at African-American unemployment, you’ve never had African-American unemployment this low and the spread between African-Americans and whites narrowing.”
