Black Unemployment Rate Falls to 15.4% in June 2010

African Americans are still being hit harder than most with the bad economy.  A new employment report released this morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows us that the unemployment rate for African Americans dropped from 15.5% in May 2010 to 15.4% in June 2010.

The mainstream media is painting this month's report in a negative light -- 125,000 jobs were lost last month.  The unemployment rate edged down from 9.7 percent to 9.5%.   There was some positive news with private employers hiring increasing by 83,000 jobs last month.

What do these numbers mean to you?
