Jobless Blacks Face Steepest Challenge
(LA Times)
As the economy continued to falter this fall, blacks have felt the effects more keenly than other Americans. The rate of black unemployment--at 9.7 % nationally in October, up from 8.7 & in September--has for decades persisted at about twice the rate of whites.

Even in the best of times, African Americans suffer the nation's highest unemployment rates.

In bad times, they tend to fare worse still, losing jobs at disproportionate rates and remaining out of work longer than other Americans.

Again, with feeling: "Even in the best of times, African Americans suffer the nation's highest unemployment rates." Whoah, that's a load off of BoyCaught's mind. All this time, he thought that persistent Black under-employment was just because we're shiftless and lazy and kinda d-d-dim, and because only a tiny fraction of us have the musical or athletic skeelz necessary for full economic exploitation, er, participation.
