More than one in three Young African-American Workers unemployed

Submitted by Jesse Russell on November 26, 2009 - 2:41pm

Economists might be calling it a recession, but for the young and black in America it likely feels more like the Great Depression. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for black men between the ages of 16 and 24 in the United States hit 34.5 percent in October.

The national unemployment rate for all workers between the ages of 16 to 24 was 19.1 percent in October. The national unemployment rate for African Americans overall was 15.7 percent.
