Blacks hit hard by economy's punch - 34.5 percent of young African American men are unemployed
Johnny Asia
Joblessness for 16-to-24-year-old black men has reached Great
Depression proportions -- 34.5 percent in October, more than three
times the rate for the general U.S. population. And last Friday, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that unemployment in the District,
home to many young black men, rose to 11.9 percent from 11.4 percent,
even as it stayed relatively stable in Virginia and Maryland.
Construction, manufacturing and retail experienced the most severe job
losses in this down economy, losses that are disproportionately
affecting men and young people who populated those sectors. That is
especially playing out in the District, where unemployment has risen
despite the abundance of jobs in the federal government.
Traditionally the last hired and first fired, workers in Spriggs's age
group have taken the brunt of the difficult economy, with
cost-conscious employers wiping out the very apprenticeship,
internship and on-the-job-training programs that for generations gave
young people a leg up in the work world or a second chance when they
made mistakes. Moreover, this generation is being elbowed out of
entry-level positions by older, more experienced job seekers on the
unemployment rolls who willingly trade down just to put food on the
table.
The jobless rate for young black men and women is 30.5 percent. For
young blacks -- who experts say are more likely to grow up in
impoverished racially isolated neighborhoods, attend subpar public
schools and experience discrimination -- race statistically appears to
be a bigger factor in their unemployment than age, income or even
education. Lower-income white teens were more likely to find work than
upper-income black teens, according to the Center for Labor Market
Studies at Northeastern University, and even blacks who graduate from
college suffer from joblessness at twice the rate of their white
peers.

This is what happens when a culture glorifies drugs and prison and
welfare and ridicules education and fatherhood.

No wage is low enough to encourage hiring criminals.
