“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…”

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.”

“In his January 24 [2012] State of the Union speech, President Obama argued that American manufacturing is already coming back under his presidency. But his actual record on manufacturing jobs is dismal.”

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.]

Job creation best in red [non-Democrat-ruled] state cities

“[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.”
