Historically bad numbers for black men via 2 and a half years of historic African-American president:
5/10/11, "Employment rate for black men at record low," Yahoo News, Zachary Roth
Only 43% of black men are employed: "The percentage of black males over 20 who are currently employed dropped slightly to 56.9, the Labor Department's April report shows. For whites, the equivalent figure is 68.1 percent.
Before this recession, the percentage of black adult men with a job had never dropped below 60 percent, according to Labor Department statistics.
And among blacks, it's not just men who are suffering. Just 51.5 percent of African-Americans across the board--compared to 59.5 percent of whites--have a job, the numbers show."...via Rebel Pundit
