White Unemployment 5.3% -- Black Unemployment 11.4%

(CNSNews.com) – While unemployment nationwide is 6.1%, the unemployment rate for black Americans at 11.4% is more than double the rate for white Americans, who have an unemployment rate of 5.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

The unemployment rate for Latino Americans, at 7.5%, is also lower than the unemployment rate for blacks, the BLS data show.

For black Americans, age 16 and older, seasonally adjusted, the unemployment rate between July and August stayed the same at 11.4%, and that is up from the 10.7% rate in June. The last time the black unemployment rate was 11.4% was more than 5 years ago, in October 2008. (It was at a low 7.6% in August 2007.)

For white Americans, 16 years and older, seasonally adjusted, the unemployment rate also stayed the same at 5.3% between July and August, which was the same as it was in June. Except for April 2013, which also saw a rate of 5.3%, the last time it was at that level was in July/August 2008.

For Latinos, 16 and older, seasonally adjusted, the 7.5% unemployment rate in August was down from 7.8% in July. It has not fallen below the 7% range since May 2008.

According to the Census Bureau, whites make up 77.7% of the U.S. population; blacks comprise 13.2% of the population; and Hispanic or Latino make up 17.1% of the population.

The influx of undocumented democrats could be making its mark.... the last time it was at that level was in July/August 2008.

Black unemployment has generally always been about double that for whites, over the course of the last 60 years.

Just more of the same.

We are about to get 10 pages of-This proves America is racist and black people can't catch a break

Intertwined with just a many- This proves blacks are their on worst ebenmy and welfare has destroyed the black work ethic.

The truth is a mixture of both with a few other ingredients thrown in.

growing up in a segregated full on racist as heck hometown I always found it ironic

That when referring to lazy white folks, they said they are as lazy as a bunch of N*******

But when someone had a really hard day at work- They said. "They worked me like a bunch of N*****"

Completely irrational behavior to explain conflicting situations

That's not irony, it's cognitive dissonance.

In the ballpark, but with some fluctuation:

In fact, despite all his blather about "economic justice" and his actions to redistribute wealth as he sees fit, the only group to see incomes rise under O'bama were the top 10%. It's almost as if he doesn't understand the economy!

The same folks that are pumping money hand over fist into the Clinton war chest.

How can that be? What about the war on poverty and affirmative action?

Wait until Obama gets all his wannabe Democrats from south of the border here working. People will look back on that 11.4% as a good number.

Perhaps if we burn and loot a few more cities ... more shovel ready jobs.

Thats actually perfectly logical.

The first one suggests that blacks will only work as hard as you make them work.

The second one says I had to work harder than I wanted to.

I'm not supporting the premise, just saying it is not contradictory.

But he cares. He cares. He is making life better because he cares .

I dislike your fist sentence, however, for once, your comment didn't just blast black people. Amazing!!

How is it that blacks are so lazy but when people work hard they compare it to a bunch of black people.

It is true, there are some blacks that do not want anything but there are many more that do! They work hard and still have a hard time getting a break.

A guy interviewed for a job at my office recently, black PhD in higher ed, equivalent experience as the other two applicants.

They have now narrowed the job down to two white women,(not blasting white women) with less education, and the one they really want to give the job to has even less experience than the other and they only want to give it to her because she is from another department on campus. I felt really sorry for the dude.

People claim education really plays a part in whether or not blacks can achieve certain goals, but it is untrue!! You should also look at the unemployment rate for black kids graduating from college versus others. The truth of the matter is, education is not likely to help black people become acceptable in society, it is only an excuse.
