Record 12,202,000 Black Americans Not in Labor Force

i guess we gotta figure out how to get that 65m under age 15 set working. and those 40m over 65 need to step their game up and stop being lazy.

Export the under 15 crowd to China, of course.

I just found it interesting to think about. 134 million people out of 324 million don't wake up every morning and go to work.

A good portion of those 40 million over 65 have been raping the country blind for a decade or three now. I have no sympathy for them at this point. The legacies and burdens the baby boomers have left us are

Affirmative action.....

That's not what affirmative action is this has long been proven.

Black people need to make our own jobs, we're not gonna get hired to work theirs. Ever.

Yeah that's true those republishyts pressured him to attack Libya, give Israel more weapons to bomb Palestinians, give weapons to AL-Q and ISIS is Syria...

Lack of education

That's only a small part of it. We all know a white person who dropped out of high school with a criminal record is likely to get hired before a black person with a college degree and no criminal record.

The issue here is black people don't own shyt so they always have to BEG white people for jobs. Until that issue is addressed nothing else really matter.

bu bu but Obama says the Economy is working and we are down in unemployment.

Real talk, Obama economic policies are

The Dodd-Frank Bill hung Black employment and Small Business out to dry for big govt control over banking system. Its probably the worst piece of legislation ever

How is this possible?
There are only: 38,929,319 Black people in the US.
That's total.
There is no way 31.3% of the Black population is out of the labour force.
At least 15% of that 39,000,000 are under 18.
A good portion of that number are also in school.
There's no way damn near 1/2 of the Black population is not working.
No way.

Article says that the black Americans are "not actively looking for work" which is an obvious lie to drive attention away from racist employers

"Not looking for work" is the prerequisite for a labour force statistic.
When you see an article citing the size of the labour force, "not actively looking for a job" is a part of that.
You're looking to the wrong portion of the article for racism.
