Black women are being left behind in this bullshit jobs "recovery"

[LJ_Reloaded]

It was tragic when men took it on the chin with the mancession, it's tragic when it's happening to black women now.

The overall unemployment rate dropped from 7.2 percent to 6.1 percent between August 2013 and August 2014, and women's unemployment rate dropped from 6.2 percent to 5.7 percent, the NWLC noted. During that same time, however, the unemployment rate for black women remained stagnant at 10.6 percent.

Unemployment for black men, meanwhile, fell nearly three points, from 13.4 percent to 10.8 percent, according to the NWLC report, which looked at figures released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.

Joan Entmacher, vice president for family economic security at the NWLC, said the stagnant job situation for black women is a "red flag" in the most recent employment data.

The problem is not a lack of education, Entmacher told The Huffington Post in an interview. The NWLC did a comparison of adults with bachelor's degrees across all demographics, and black women still had the highest unemployment rate of any other group with equivalent education. "There's something else going on here," she said.

That's funny...



All the undocumented Hispanic women keep finding work. Did you see that deportations has hit a new low?

*chuckle*

But it's the Republican war on women and minorities.

Why no one needs to hire black women:

This state started importing foreign workers long ago, mostly African college grads, to satisfy the federal nigger counters, and sidetrack the domestic malcontents. A niggers a nigger, but domestic niggers travel with lotsa baggage.

The statistics speak of the post-RECESSION years, and they just came out. 2014, you idiot.

Legal and illegal immigration is hurting, and will continue to hurt, job prospects for all native born citizens of this country. It is particularly hurting native born black citizens. It's odd that some people don't realize this.

It's racist and xenophobic to notice.

"Study Projects Asians Will Become Largest US Immigrant Group"

"WASHINGTON — In a major shift in immigration patterns over the next 50 years, Asians will have surged past Hispanics to become the largest group of immigrants heading to the United States, according to estimates in a new immigration study.

The study looks in detail at what will happen by 2065, but the actual tipping point comes in 2055.

An increase in Asian and Hispanic immigration also will drive U.S. population growth, with foreign-born residents expected to make up 18 percent of the country's projected 441 million people in 50 years, the Pew Research Center said in a report being released Monday. This will be a record, higher than the nearly 15 percent during the late 19th century and early 20th century wave of immigration from Europe.

Today, immigrants make up 14 percent of the population, an increase from 5 percent in 1965.

The actual change is expected to come in 2055, when Asians will become the largest immigrant group at 36 percent, compared with Hispanics at 34 percent. White immigrants to America, 80 percent back in 1965, will hover somewhere between 18 and 20 percent, with black immigrants in the 8 percent to 9 percent range, the study said.

Currently, 47 percent of immigrants living in the United States are Hispanic, but by 2065 that number will have dropped to 31 percent. Asians currently make up 26 percent of the immigrant population but in 50 years that percentage is expected to increase to 38 percent."

Define "Asian."



That's not one big "ethnic" group. The magician is distracting you...

From the continent of Asia works for me.

That's not the proper framing for a conversation based upon blacks vs. hispanics because Asians can be Chinese (Han), Pakistani, Japanese, Indian, etc.

Therefore, when we say it will be the largest group of immigrants, that will be true, but when we say it will be somewhat of a monolithic block of culture, no, it will not be. Apples to oranges, but it is the current Liberal argument to take the heat off of Hispanics who come here with a hatred of Capitalism, having only know Oligarchical Crony Capitalism, in order to suck off of the teats of the weal of actual Capitalism, which by their vote, they can transform into the Capitalism of their home countries.

So, yes, you have a point, but it is the point that the Left wants you to adopt.

I said nothing about blacks vs. Hispanics. I'm including all immigrants, legal and illegal, no matter where they come from, or what race they are.

Legal immigrants do not tend to take the black entry-level jobs that LT speaks of.

Asian illegals are not swimming ashore...

They take jobs, don't they? And not all blacks are "entry-level" employees.

Have you seen their college...

Hell, what the fuck am I talking about, their HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES???

I know how we can help all the unemployed. Let's raise the minimum wage to $15!

That's another problem. But they certainly don't need millions of immigrants competing for what jobs are available. Nor does anyone else.

Again, Asians have to at least pretend to follow the law to get in meaning that they are not the illiterates who say, okay, I'll haul in a bag of heroin for safe passage, and not a danger to black, white, female and teenage introduction into the workforce. That list also, btw, includes legal Hispanic-Americans who have been here for generations...

Immigrants, legal and illegal, increase the labor supply at a time there are too few jobs for native born Americans. There's no way to get around that fundamental fact. Yes, some do jobs Americans don't want to do, but millions do jobs Americans would be happy to do.

"jobs Americans don't want to do"

That actually means jobs where people tend to die quite often and the pay is almost nonexistent.

Americans are actually smart about not wanting to work these jobs: dying doesn't earn you a living.
