Job market woes hit blacks hardest in downturn
The national employment picture shows 2.6 million manufacturing jobs vanished since July 2000, with black unemployment at 11.8 percent in June and Hispanic unemployment at 8.4 percent. Blacks face greater impact due to concentration in manufacturing while Hispanics rely on services and construction, aided by housing growth and immigrant labor.
