House of Paine

here's an eye pop

"The share of young black men 
 black male high school dropouts 
in their 20's  jobless : 
that is, unable to find work,
 not seeking it or incarcerated.
 2004  72 percent" 

that compares to
 " 34 percent of white
 and 
19 percent of Hispanic dropouts"

" Even when high school graduates 
are included...."

 "half of black men in their 20's
 were jobless in 2004 "


final shot:

"Among black dropouts 
in their late 20's,
 more are in prison 
on a given day
 34 percent
 than are working 30 percent
