White unemployment down, Black unemployment up


“There's a very sharp relationship between the level of education and unemployment rates,” says Dr. Barry R. Chiswick, distinguished professor of economics at the University of Illinois at Chicago and director of the UIC Center for Economic Education.

“For example, in March, last month, those with less than a high school degree had an unemployment rate of 14.5 percent whereas those with a bachelors degree or more had an unemployment rate of 4.9 percent.”

  5. Lame was my first thought to your response so I gave it sometime. After giving it some thought, my reaction is still the same “Lame”. I am sure with a little research you could have found the answer instead of waiting for someone to chime in with the answer. I don’t think you are the blogger for me. I will have to delete you from my favorite. Please do not feel obligated to print this. It is not necessary.
