BS article... any economic success is bad news for liberals. Why is it democrats and libs don't like to see people happy?
Of course it did. What idiots! Black teens finished school and wanted summer jobs or graduated high school and went to enter the work force. Just like other teens.
Note that they don't compare the increase in black teen unemployment to the increase in white or hispanic teen unemployment. I'd bet they are statistically similar.
This was to be expected from the Party of Hate.
It is proof that even the Rats are now admitting our economy is roaring.
Now, they will put out these articles of envy and hate showing how women, chilrun, gays and illegal aliens have been harmed and left behind by our economy.
I noticed the word waiting. This mentality of course, is the whole problem. Waiting for someone to give them a job, waiting for a handout...waiting for sympathy, waiting for someone to acknowledge his victimhood. BS! If I became unemployed, I wouldn't be waiting for anything...I'd be getting of my arse looking for another job and not stopping till I got one!
Minorities, minority women hardest hit!
Minorities have ALWAYS lagged behind in employment... this is nothing new.
These numbers are suspect and without seeing previous data, there is now way to draw the conclusion that this author does. BTW - I live in DC and employers are literally scouring the metro area looking for workers. In northern Virginia, the unemployment rate is a scorching 2%. If your not working, your not looking (there are exceptions though).
Class warfare starting already. If we weren't importing all these immigrants both legal and illegal, there would be more jobs for our young citizens.
At least they admitted that the [Clinton] recession ended in 2001.
Notice how they start with African-Americans early in the article, but then mention CASA and state that it is serving a growing number of African IMMIGRANTS.
Legal Immigration levels are set by Congress. If unemployment is so terrible, why bring in unskilled workers?
These can't be illegal immigrants, of course, because that would be very deceptive of USA TODAY to blame Dubya for illegal immigrants not getting jobs -- and we all know the Press would never be unfair to Dubya.
And Kerry wants to raise the minimum wage.. and make the teen unemployment rate go up even higher!!
As college student trying to find a job this summer, I literally want to kick Kerry in the nuts.. its hard enough for students to find a job already.
GW's website has a great ad that they are running on TV which slaps the pessimism of al Kerry and his Kerrorists in charge of most of the media in America.

I am reminded of an old cartoon from the Lyndon Johnson era.
A hillbilly woman is lounging on her front porch reading a newspaper.
She says,
"Paw, the President of the United States has declared WAR on Poverty."
He, while laying under a tree in the front yard with a jug of Moon by his side, says,
"Well, if he wants me to join he is going to have to draft me!"
It'll trickle down to them no need to get pissd.
BUMP
Nah, this is certainly not slanted, is it? Bush Is To Blame. Did you know that Bush was a slave owner?
(Idiots)
I believe it.
The 'undocumented' take all the jobs from the young afro-americans....
