Study Shows Depth of Unemployment for Blacks in New York

The New York Times reports:

The title of a new report tells the bad news: Only One in Four Young Black Men in New York City Have a Job. The report, prepared by the Community Service Society of New York, has other unhappy news about this group — that the unemployment rate for African-American men in New York, age 16 to 24, was 33.5 percent from January 2009 through June 2010, while the labor force participation rate was 38 percent.

Great moments in Blue America! Unions, high minimum wages, regulations, and a generous worker compensation add up to high unemployment for those seeking entry level jobs. It appears the Democrat party is fond of unemployment for blacks in New York city.
