The Obama Economy: Blacks, Hispanics Hardest Hit

and...

"We are experiencing a 28-year high in black unemployment; but unlike January 1983, when black unemployment spiked but then soon improved, Barack Obama's black unemployment has hovered in the 14%-16% range for over three years... Teen black unemployment is at a terrible 39.3%. The number of children living under the poverty line is as high as it has ever been... black illegitimate births have peaked at 72.5% of all black births, and sexually transmitted diseases are up -- particularly for black kids, for whom chlamydia occurs 3.8 times more than for Hispanics and 7.5 times more than for whites. New York now aborts of 60% of its black babies..."

CBO: Unemployment to Be ‘Largely Unchanged’ in 2012, 2013

Labor Statistics:

“The government’s most widely publicized unemployment rate measures only those who are out of a job and currently looking for work. It does not count discouraged potential employees who have quit looking, nor those who are underemployed — wanting to work full-time but forced to work part-time. For that count, the government releases a separate number called the ‘U-6,’ which provides a more complete tally of how many people really are out of work. The numbers in some cases are startling.“

Unemployment data not what it appears [sic]

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/04/unemployment_data_not_what_it_appears.html

[Once again, ASND inserts the Latin " sic " because the word " data " (also Latin) is a plural, rather than singular, noun. Conjugating the English (infinitive) verb "to be" as "is" (e.g. "... data is...") results in a grammatical (subject-verb) contradiction. Data are thingS, data are not a thing.]

“[Dr.] David Neumark, director of the Center for Economics and Public Policy at the University of California, Irvine, said no ‘sensible economist’ would argue for a doubling of the minimum wage… Neumark said a consensus view is emerging [among economists] that a 10 percent increase in the minimum wage reduces employment among lowest-skilled groups by 1 percent to 2 percent. Look no farther for evidence of the negative effects of a high minimum wage than Washington and the other states raising the minimum wage: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, and Vermont. All eight states have minimum wages above the federal minimum wage of $7.25. Seven of these eight states already have unemployment rates above the national median.“
