higher than white?

The unemployment rate for black
teens is 40.5 percent.
For a comparison, the unemployment
rate for white teens is 21.6 percent.
Walter Williams explains more about why the minimum wage laws
impact black youth more than white youth:
Teenagers tend to be low-skilled.
They lack the experience, knowledge and maturity of adults. That means they will
be the primary victims of a minimum wage law. But why are black teens more
heavily impacted than white teens? Black teens are far more likely to come from
broken homes and attend some of the worst schools in the nation. Therefore, a
law that discriminates against the employment of low-skilled workers will have a
greater impact on black workers.
Higher broken home.
Why are 70 percent of births in the
black community to single mothers? Liberalism:
Poor schools, which Democrats fight
to keep blacks in, and all the hardships associated with the lack of a nuclear
family, which Democrat policies destroyed.
Democratic policies have had a
compounding impact on the life of the black American, from birth until death. A
majority are born to a family without a father because Democratic social
engineering made it easy for them to walk away. And Democratic loyalties for
children into prisons thinly disguised as schools because the unions want it
that way.
Finally, with no stable family and
no decent education, they don’t seek a secondary education in a job market that
almost requires one, limiting their options to lower wage or public sector
jobs.
The better question is, with decades
of “help” from the Democrat Party, how could unemployment in the black community
not be this bad?
READER COMMENT: Democrat policies
have also made it more lucrative for low-skilled people of any race to stay on
relief rather than improve their own lot through education or apprenticeship. I
remember a conversation I had with a social worker living in West Virginia

We can add a bunch of other huge factors.
ReplyDeleteGrass roots development and small businesses are often zoned and regulated out of existence in poor neighborhoods hurting anyone without access to a car. (Also meaning that people do not see the example of sucessful businesspeople)
Look at the location and design of old school housing projects which isolate people away from stores, jobs or anything.
Limits on small scale business activity- like operating food trucks, street vending, operating taxi & van services, small scale contracting.
Entrenched and often racist white unions that exclude easy access to jobs like construction work.
The loss of social contacts caused by the destruction of organic neighborhood business networks. 1600 majority black neighborhoods were destroyed by governement urban renewal programs. This which had a devastating impact on the black business community.
