National Data
By Edwin S. Rubenstein
June Data Confirms Hispanic/Black Employment Divide
According to MSM economic pundits, June’s employment report was
disappointing. Payrolls expanded by 121,000 positions. That was better
than May, but below the 175,000 predicted by economists—and far below
the 390,000 projected by a private employment survey conducted by
Automatic Data Processing (ADP.)
In fact, the June numbers were not nearly as weak as portrayed. The
government’s Household Survey showed job growth of 387,000, remarkably
close to the private forecast. And, as we have often demonstrated,
Hispanics garnered an above average share of the new positions.
Of course the divergence between the two surveys is doubtless the
result of the “off the books” nature of much Hispanic employment.
Just look at the number and percent increase in jobs for June:
Hispanics: +108,000 (+0.55 percent)
Non-Hispanics: +279,000 (+0.22 percent)
Whites: +291,000 (+0.25 percent)
Blacks: -82,000 (-0.52 percent)
Blacks were the only group to suffer job losses in June, with the
biggest hit (surprise, surprise!) taken by Black teenagers, whose
unemployment rate soared to 27.8 percent from 25.0 percent in May.
To be sure, the Hispanic unemployment rate also increased in June – to
5.3 percent from May’s 5.0 percent. Unlike Blacks, however, Hispanics
flooded into the labor force in June, their higher labor force
participation rate apparently signaling increased confidence in future
job prospects. Black labor force participation declined, albeit not by
enough to offset their job losses – so their unemployment rate still
rose.
[Vdare.com Note: As many readers know, "Black," "White," and "Hispanic"
are not mutually exclusive categories. Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a
race, and the Household Survey does not distinguish between
non-Hispanic and Hispanic Blacks. Nevertheless, the yawning chasm
between Hispanic and Black employment trends can only be explained by
the vastly different experiences of U.S.-born, largely non-Hispanic,
Black workers and their predominantly foreign-born Hispanic
counterparts.]
A few days before the June report’s release, the left of center
Economic Policy Institute noted the growing "racial income gap"
between African-Americans and Whites.
"In 1995, the median income of African-American families was 60.9% of
that of white families (in 2004 dollars: $31,966 versus $52,492). By
2000, when the unemployment rate fell to 4.0%, the ratio was 63.5%
(still a very large income gap: $36,939 versus $58,167 in 2004
dollars), the highest level on record, going back to 1947. [VDARE.COM
Emphasis]
"But……the racial gap widened by 2004 (most recent data) as a result of
the recession and the jobless recovery that followed…… This finding
suggests that unless the very favorable labor market conditions of the
latter 1990s return and are maintained, racial income gaps are likely
to widen further." Record, going back to 1947. [Snapshot for July 5,
2006. Weaker job market re-opens racial income gap by Jared Bernstein]
Our analysis "suggests" something else: Immigration was the culprit. If
immigration remains at its present level, Blacks will continue to lose
ground even if the "favorable economic conditions" of the late 1990s
were to re-materialize.
The displacement of non-Hispanic workers by Hispanics since the start
of the Bush Administration is tracked by the VDARE.com American Worker
Displacement Index.

website]
The navy blue line is Hispanic job growth, pink is non-Hispanic, and
yellow is the ratio of Hispanic to non-Hispanic (VDAWDI)
From the January 2001 through June 2006:
Hispanic employment rose 3.53 million (+21.9 percent)
Non-Hispanic employment rose 2.5 million (+2.5 percent)
In June 2006 VDAWDI rose to a record 118.9.

Couldn't they get jobs in the army? The last I heard was that the US
military was short of volunteers.

They could fill out a job application, if they can read.

Well possibly so, but the military just happens to need
people with brains, and a clean criminal record, and
can pass drug tests, and to stay in the military, on must
be able to follow orders, show respect for rank, and be
able and have the desire to do the best job possible.
If one has no desire to follow orders, or cannot get along
with fellow troops, or cannot carry their own weight,
then the military is no place for them.
One must show honor and have a desire to be the best
one can become to achieve satisfaction in being part
of the military made up of volunteers.
And no, there is no shortage of volunteers, may be a bit
short on ones with acceptable backgrounds, but not
enough to take in trash.
We will not lower standards like the federal and state
governments to fill our ranks.
We are not like state and federal governments, filled
with elected clowns who cannot pass a simple security
background check, and cannot keep their flappin
gums shut when it comes to classified matters.
A military unit must have absolute security when
it comes to tactical operations, and flappin \
gums will get people killed.
The military requires people who can think and act
at the same time, and have the ability to make decisions
on the fly, while being shot at by people who have
every intention of killing as many of our troops as
possible.
The old term of cannon fodder does not apply
with today's volunteer forces. Each and every
troop must be able to do his job, and that of
those on both sides of him/her.
Before anyone makes any judgment of our
troops today, you must walk in their boots for
a month or two, and put your life on the line daily
for this time.
Jackass's like kerry and murtha need to be put
right out front, and let the bad guys shoot at them
for a few weeks, if they survive, maybe their mind
might get right, and they might learn to curb their
mouth.
If it weren't for the democratic party and their
idiots in the house and senate, the bad guys
would have rolled over and been gone by now.
but with the support of the democratic party, the
islamic nut cases gain strength and support, and
will just keep recruiting their cannon fodder to
attempt to kill Americans. You do not see the
leaders of the democratic party jumping in and
going right out in harms way, no more do you
see al qaeda, or muslim leaders placing themselves
in harms way..

We sure don't see GOP leaders rushing to put themselves in harms way
on the front lines either!
As for Murtha .. do remember he is one of the most generous
Congressmen when it came to "defense" appropriations.
At least him and Kerry did see combat unlike your
current Commander-in-Chief and his cronies.
I'd I and millions of Americans will concur with the concept
that we got Saddam and his cronies out of the picture;
with the resources we have we really can't do much good
in Iraq thus the bulk of the troops should be pulled
out of there and redeployed at the US-Mexican border.

"On the last day of January 2005, Steven D. Green, the former Army
private now accused of raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killing her
and her family, sat in a Texas jail on alcohol-possession charges, an
unemployed 19-year-old high school dropout with his third misdemeanor
conviction.
He enlisted at the time that the Army was increasing =3F by nearly half
again as much =3F the rate at which it granted waivers to potential
recruits who otherwise might not qualify. The waivers opened enlistment
to others like Green, with minor criminal records and weak educations.
The Army's waiver for Green brought an apparently troubled young man
into the heart of a conflict that continued to need fresh recruits..."
