Unemployment By Gender, Age, Race

Posted by Milton Recht:

From Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Economic Trends, "Educational Attainment and Demographic Differences in Employment" by Dionissi Aliprantis and Nelson Oliver:
It is well-known that employment outcomes such as unemployment rates and employment-to-population ratios vary markedly across demographic groups. Differences in unemployment rates are especially pronounced across age and racial groups. For example, in January 2013 the unemployment rate for African Americans was approximately double that of whites.

  1. So for the age, the total rare of unemployed is 8.6%. I'm afraid that this will be worse in the future.
