The White Pride – Unemployment Rate in US
Employment | December 9, 2009 at 1:23 amI am a regular explorer of latest statistics about anything and everything related to finance and economy in US. I am not surprised, as I was many years ago, to find out that the group of people most affected economically is black people.
A couple of years ago, when we didn’t know what financial crises is, the unemployment percentage of overall American population was 6%. And as I expected, the percentage of unemployment among black people was 11%. And if I talk about youths i.e. below the age of 25, it was over 25%. Astounding, isn’t it?
As I mentioned, this depressing statistics were found two years ago by me. In today’s crisis situation, it is worse. Worse than what I expected it to be. The current unemployment rate of your nation is 10.2%. But for black people, it’s 30.5%. Sounds depressing, but there is more.
Ok. You may think there is nothing to shameful about. The statistic may be the result of their drawbacks. It may be just that black people are not capable of performing the job or are not as literate as whites are. However, you would want to alter your conclusions after I finish with my anthology of statistics and reports.
A recent survey conducted by Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University reveals another astonishing fact that young whites, especially the one that are poorer than blacks, got jobs quicker than blacks. The survey results also declared that the chances of getting a job to a white graduate is double than that of a black graduate. How racist.
Some study also says that many people don’t even like traditional black names. The probability that you will get an interview call just by sending resume is:
if you are a white – 72%
if you are a black – 36%
Almost double. Disgusting.
Again, the chances of getting a call back by the employer to the 36% black are half than what the remaining 72% whites can expect.
Things have been unchanged, rather worse, after we elected Mr. Barack Obama as our president. How can we expect him to do miraculous things or rather anything when he is also a black? They are so incapable, isn’t it?
If these statistics worsens or even persists, the economic condition in areas with high black population like Washington D.C. and Detroit will just exacerbate. Why are we still so biased and arrogant? What are we proud of? The color that didn’t help us to save our job?
