What has not been as widely covered is that racial disparities in unemployment cut across class lines. Among the report’s most devastating findings is the fact that even black Americans with a college degree are significantly less likely than their white counterparts to find employment. According to the study, “A College Degree Is No Guarantee” (pdf), last year 12.4 percent of black college graduates between the ages of 22 and 27 were unemployed, while the unemployment rate for all college graduates in that age group was 5.6 percent. The report also notes that between 2007 and 2013, the unemployment rate for black recent college graduates nearly tripled.

Study: Plenty of Qualified Blacks, Latinos Available for Tech Jobs
New analysis by USA Today is contradicting what many technology companies have been telling us in defense of their (lack of) diversity data—a shortage in Black and Latino job seekers within the tech industry is not the reason for the demographics in Silicon Valley companies.

While most tech giants claim that their employees are almost all white, Asian or male because those are the applicants they get, new research stats prove that to be untrue.

In fact, Blacks and Latinos majoring in computer science and computer engineering graduate at twice the rate compared to the amount actually being hired within the tech industry.

Yes, I'm a cynic.

Three companies that hire H1B workers while simultaneously laying off Americans, now suddenly care?
