The NY Times brings us a another wonderful graphic. As of September 2009, white women aged 25 to 34 with a college degree had an unemployment rate of just 3.6%, while black men aged 18 to 24 without a highschool diploma had an unemployment rate of 48.5%. Change that last group to white men aged 18 to 24 without a highschool diploma and it falls to 25.6%.
