Unemployment, black unemployment fell slightly last month

What this marks is another milestone in the ignorance of America. What no one seems to understand is regardless of what the government statics are manipulated to show (growth) it still does not address the problem (consumer confidence). You see, it was a very simple formula as to how prosperity was to continue. Companies make things. When companies made things people bought things. When people bought things that gave companies the green light to hire more people because people were spending money. People spent money because they had the confidence that there would be a job to get up and go to on Monday that paid a wage where one could house their family, feed their family, and cloth and educated their family. Plus, there were a few pennies left over after paying bills to put up for a rainy day (retirement). Now, NO ONE has that confidence anymore. We, Americans, as an overall whole were stupid enough to think that we would all get rich in a Money Market account and other such foolishness that were nothing more than legalized Ponzi schemes. People who could not read and understand their own electric bills mortgaged the farm and gave the check to their brokers who pushed whatever trash investments down their throats. And now we are all paying the price of this greed and foolishness. Things have gotten so bad that immediately after Obama's recent speech about the war in Afghanistan a REPUBLICAN suggested that it may be time to strongly consider NOT TAXING those who make less than $30k per year. What that amounts to is an acknowledgement that there is now a SLAVE WORKER class that exists in the greatest country on earth, America. What else could it have meant? Whatever job is available does not pay what the person who previously held it. Unemployment figures are one of the cruelest jokes to be reported on because they mention nothing about the people who have run out of benefits and are no longer counted. And trust me, those numbers of people are in the millions.

I am empathetic with the concerns over the higher unemployment rate in the African American Community. As a small business owner of 40 employees there is one serious huge characteristic showing that the African American community does not seem to get. ATTITUDE. My African American employees are the first to be late. In some cases they are bright but if push comes to pull. They scream. Your only writing me up for being late the 5th time cause I am black. In this market. If you are working at McDonald's then be the best you can be. If you don't relay a positive attitude to me. WHAT are you showing my clients and customers.

Hobo, you are on the money with your comments. It's always nice when someone out there with some intellect stops by to chat. I'll bet a nickle if you read 5 reports on unemployment numbers no two will match. Obama inherited a mess but for the black/white person with no job and no savings and knows credit checks will make or break a decent paying job or apartment it is understandable that they don't want to hear no b/s about "things will get better". They aren't if your credit is gone and that is reality, Mr. President. More is going to have to be done. Do I have the solution? No. Do you (the readers of this comment)? Let's say screw Tiger and his billions he will still have after all his b/s blows over and lets talk reality here. SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE AND SOON! FYI the third set of college grads with no job to look forward to is nearing. They will pile up on top of those with twenty-plus years of service who now have no job but thought they were set for life.

The unemployment rates of different ethinic groups go like this: blacks > latinos > whites > Asians; this is exactly the reverse order of education level. You cannot blame anything else....
