Depressed states: Unemployment rate near 20% for some groups
Recent reports of incremental employment gains should not overshadow the continuing depth of the jobs crisis in America—a crisis whose severity for some groups rivals the magnitude of the Great Depression. For example, unemployment among African Americans in Michigan and Hispanics in Rhode Island has exceeded 20% since 2009. In 17 other states, the African American unemployment rate was at least 15% for most or all of 2010, while at least 15% of Hispanics in Nevada, Connecticut, and California were unemployed in 2010. Whites in California, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, and Rhode Island are also experiencing unemployment rates of 10% or higher.
These findings highlight that America’s ongoing jobs crisis is unevenly felt. While all demographic groups are hurting, the pain of joblessness is more common among African Americans and Hispanics than whites.

Re: Depressed states: Unemployment rate near 20% for some groups
This article is not about racial issues or about the President's re-election campaign strategies. It is about how different sectors and different regions have been affected in this economy.
Unemployment affects everyone and regardless of our color, religion, sex or point of views, we are all suffering in the same way. Unfortunately, often time racial bias does affect different areas and unemployment is more rampant among those groups.
Please do not turn this into a racial issue. Whether you like it or not, we are all in this together.

Whether people want to believe it or not it is actually harder for African-Americans and Hispanics to get decent paying jobs Before the recession and it's even harder now. I don't need to call you a racist delko, you are already know you are. Another thread a week ago got shutdown specifically due to your racist rants so why don't you simmer down a little bit before this one gets shutdown too. It would also be great if you could learn how to turn your caps lock off.
