Unemployment hits black youth in area the hardest
Joe Marshall, 23, moved to Carbondale to improve his life after dropping out in 1973. He lost a car wash job three years ago and has since searched for work amid a broader pattern of higher unemployment among black youths in Carbondale. Community leaders cite discrimination, low black business presence, and the SIU student labor pool as factors shaping a bleak job outlook for area black youths.
