Join us in this celebratory month, as we discuss the following
facts affecting many members of our community:
•During the majority of the past 50 years, Black Americans have experienced unemployment rates, that if experienced by the entire population, would be seen as recessionary.
•Historically the unemployment rate for Black Americans has been approximately twice the rates for Whites. That is the case today – 6.0% for Black workers and 3.1% for whites.
•The difference in the unemployment rate for Blacks and Whites shrinks for college graduates; however, even in the current strong economy the unemployment rate is 50% higher for Black Americans
More about WDNP:
