Unemployment rate rises for Blacks as it falls for everyone else
For the country as a whole, the unemployment rate fell in 2011. But not for African Americans.
For the country as a whole, the unemployment rate fell in 2011. That’s great news, right? Not so much for African Americans.
Unemployment rate rises
As the economy slowly improved last year, the unemployment rate fell for both whites and Latinos.
But at the end of the year the black unemployment rate was 15.8%, exactly where it started out 2011, according to the government’s December jobs report released Friday. That’s a sharp contrast to the white unemployment rate, which fell to 7.5% last month.
