Little Relief for Jobless Black Workers in 2011
Unemployment for African American workers has remained virtually unchanged, hovering between 15 percent to 16 percent throughout 2011, while unemployment for the rest of the workforce dropped below 9 percent, according to a new report by the University of California-Berkeley’s Labor Center.
Steven Pitts, a labor policy specialist at the center and author of the report, said:
[C]urrent unemployment rates for Black workers are still higher than in June 2009, when the recession officially ended, and well above December 2007, when the downturn began.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It shows how bad Obama policies are.
But, SweartoBullshit in another name, O’Bam-ya is just an Establishment whore! It goes far deeper than your Cussbreath propaganda reveals. O’Bam-ya is just another Goering Warcrimes Bush and another George “daddy” H. W. Bush, doing the same-ol’ same-ol’ political prostitution in exchange for his “honor” and “reputation” as being our nation’s so-called “leader”, even though he is only doing what The Establishment tells him to do.
It is NOT Oboma policies that are bad. It is the policies of
elected conservative that fight against liberal policies that cause
that are bad.
It is NOT PRESIDENT Oboma policies that are bad, It is consevative elected officals trying to weaken his policies that are bad..
And this shows just how crooked your wall street piglets are

I agree with hotcommodities, LibrisFidelis, and unionbrat.
I can think of 12 million reasons most of these black workers can’t find a job, anyone else?
What are 12 million reasons can’t find a job?
Hey, just the facts, don’t keep us in suspense. What do you have to say? B.O. was a huge disappointment. We certainly could nat have fared much worse under H. Clinton. (Not that b.j. bill was a bargain.)
The hardest hits are on the small time entrepreneurs, black or any other skin color; these are the people who live by their wits and create their own jobs. All side deal cash has been drained from the economy and has devastated this group living in the shadows of the economy (the shadow economy). They do not show up on the regular job reports and have been really made to suffer; the majority of citizens interact with this group in one form or another and they act as a kind of lubricant for the flow of money so everyone can make ends meet.
Q, what are 12 million reasons most black workers can’t find a job?
A, who are the folks that used to just pick lettuce and other vegetables but now are working in every trade known here in the U.S. and working so cheap employers won’t hire anyone else. If I have to be more specific then you are one of those morons who woke up and discovered there were 12 million illegal aliens working in the U.S.
