Most recent unemployment numbers
The Department of Labor released their monthly unemployment numbers today. The numbers were not good even though the overall unemployment rate came down slightly. A really good article on the overall numbers can be read at the New York Times.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/08/business/us-economy-adds-113000-jobs-unemployment-rate-at-6-6.html?_r=0
Looking at the numbers broken down by age and race is really disturbing though.
Unemployment rate among whites, all ages: 5.7%
Unemployment rate among white teenagers: 17.5%
****
Unemployment rate among blacks, all ages: 12.1%
Unemployment rate among black teenagers: 38% (up 5% from last month)

Part of the issue that causes the disparity between ethnic groups and employment rates that often gets overlooked is the funding system used to drive our education system. Statistically speaking minorities are less likely to have access to adequate funding for their scholastic needs due to the relative economic strength of the communities that they are more likely to be domiciled in. Underfunded schools = less access to adiquate education = less financial opportunities. While this is not the totality of the issue that creates the disparity that your pointing out it does explain part of the inherent disadvantage that impoverished individuals have in entering the job force.

8 Antworten>2014 >People saying it's Racial Discrimination Tell me folks, which group do you think benefits the most from Affirmative Action? Saying it's Racial Discrimination is only a small percentage of the numbers when the current political climate makes it so more people are inclined to hire Minority workers over Whites.

9 Antwortenlol I love when everyone says you're "race baiting" when in reality you are just pointing out facts. The liberals can't take the truth.

That statistic almost [spoiler]knocked me out.[/spoiler] hue.

Yes and? Blacks have statistically had higher unemployment rates than whites for all of america's history. Also teenagers. I didn't start working until college. With AP classes and extra curricular stuff where would you find the time?

If it's just teens, I don't see the issues.

Because going to school is bad, right?

1 AntwortenSo... You know this article just goes to show that even with the shitty job climate, there is racial discrimination when it comes to hiring workers. It's nothing to do with them being lazy, it's that people won't give them a job in the first place so they end up going down the less savoury roads that you love to go on about.

I'm sorry that I don't want to start something that I will be doing for the rest of my life so early on..
