Eff The Recession: Study Shows That 38% Of African-Americans Lost Their Jobs Over The Last Three Years

Of those people, more than 88 percent were unable to find jobs of equal or better pay, which means they have to downgrade to get back on their feet. More than 67 percent of the 839 respondents were college educated, too. To make matters more striking, the problems have affected African Americans at every socio-economic level.
