Shocking: Black Teen Unemployment Rate 41.6%
When teens are idle, not so good things tend to happen.
So, why are so few talking about it?...
At Breitbart.com, Mike Flynn gives it a try:
"Black teen unemployment is a shocking 41.6%. In July last year, the unemployment was considerably lower, at 36%. That almost half of black teens who want to work can't find jobs is a stain on Obama's economic policies. This isn't a numbers trick. This isn't a rate based on the whole black teen population in the country. This is the proportion of the black teen population that is looking for work but can't find a job. Just in March, the number was eight points lower at 33%. The white teen unemployment rate is half the black rate, although still high at 20%."
