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.
