African Americans are still being hit harder than most with the bad economy. A new employment report released this morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows us that the unemployment rate for African Americans rose from 15.4% in June 2010 to 15.6% in July 2010.
The mainstream media is painting this month's report in a negative light -- 131,000 jobs were lost last month. The unemployment rate didn't move over the past month ... it's still 9.5%. There was some positive news with private employers hiring increasing by 71,000 jobs last month.
What do these numbers mean to you?
