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)

  • 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?
