Helping poorer Americans who were “left behind” after the last recession was one of the chief goals cited by Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell this week when the central bank cut interest rates.

Well, it seems that the still-expanding jobs market is reaching those left behind.

The government’s broadest measure of unemployment fell in July to the lowest level in 19 years. The so-called U6 rate slid to 7% from 7.2%, the Labor Department said Friday.

The U6 rate includes people who can only find part-time work as well as discouraged job seekers who haven’t looked recently.

The official unemployment rate, which was flat at 3.7% last month, excludes those workers.

The broader measure of unemployment hit an all-time peak of 17.1% in 2009 before beginning a long descent. It’s now back to 2000 levels.

That’s not all. The number of involuntary part-time workers — people who can’t find a full-time job — fell just below 4 million for the first time since 2006.

The number of people who don’t have a job but want one, meanwhile, fell to an 11-year low of 5.5 million.

“People who live and work in low- and middle-income communities tell us that in who have struggled to find work are now getting opportunities to add new and better chapters to their lives,” Powell said Wednesday in justifying the Fed’s rate cut. “This underscores for us the importance of sustaining the expansion so the job market reaches more of those left behind.”
