If you have wandered what the statistics are for the unemployment

rate in America for African /Native Americans (Black) mixed people

of color non Hispanic origin people or white (Maclay and Berkeley).

I will tell you the amount of black people unemployed is far worse on the black population then it is on any race in America. According to (The University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Labor Research) and their case studies these statistic have been ignored over the years, and will now be exposed (Steven Pitts, Sylvia Allegretto and Ary Amerikaner 2010).

According to the survey in the fifth month of 2010 blacks from the ages 16-65 were at 15.5. While Latino’s unemployment rate was 12.4 and the Caucasian race is 8.8 percent (Maclay and Berkeley).

Blackmen were struck the hardest with an all time high for the year 18.7 in the fourth month of year of 2010 of the ages just 16-19 of a total of 38% (Maclay and Berkeley).
