Note - When I initially read the article above I thought that it claimed that up to 50% of the Black Diaspora was in a state of unemployment. This disturbed me. As I read the article a second time the references to the (British) government clarified that they were talking about Black unemployment in the UK only.
This prompted me to ask the question: "What is the global employment rate of all Black people around the world - if the rate in the largest industrialized world powers is so problematic?"
Today there is no singular force that can change the employment situation for all members of the Black Diaspora. Each person living in a particular country and city lives life in the context of his specific situation in this place.
I do agree that in the last half-millennium of the world there was an active conspiracy used against Black people to EMPLOY OUR PEOPLE for the benefit of principalities other than our own.
For the next half-millennium of this world's existence there needs to be a greater consciousness that works to employ the minds of the people in support of the heightened standard of living. There is an abundance of unmet needs in certain parts of the world. Employment is a byproduct of the active delivery of goods and service.s
BBC Article:
Almost half of black people aged between 16 and 24 are unemployed, compared with 20% of white people of the same age, a think tank has claimed.
The left-leaning Institute for Public Policy Research said a survey of 7,200 young people showed a wide variation in unemployment by ethnic group.
Black unemployment had risen 13% since March 2008, compared with 8% among white people and 6% among Asians.
Campaigners said action was needed from government to help the black community.
The IPPR report came as official figures showed that the total number of people out of work had unexpectedly fallen by 7,000 in the three months to November.
