Why Black Women Still Have Not Recovered From the Recession

It must be racism or sexism. There is no other possible explanation.

It might be. There may be enough militantly racist and sexist black "grievance studies" graduates out there that companies may be avoiding hiring black women for fear of ending up with a walking lawsuit looking for somebody to happen to.

Maybe I just overly suspicious, but I really doubt she was a pharmacist. OK, maybe a pharmacist on the corner selling narcotics.

What about black men? White women? White men? Asian men and women?????

[Lord North]

Everyone else HAS recovered, because, you know, the recession was ended by BO a very long time ago, ‘cause he’s so great and all.

[lowbridge]

Exactly. Fer sure. The white house told us so. :-)

[envisio]

Why would they want to leave all the freebies behind just to go to work everyday?
Cradle-to-grave dependency... just like the democrats want it.

[RedHeeler]

Humanist movements are always convoluted. Yet, the story track, is always the same ol’ - “You are a victim of the system’s system. Think and Vote Socialist and be Free!”

[Buckeye McFrog]

That story does not pass the smell test.

If she is really a pharmacist, she would be employed. There is a shortage of pharmacists. Major drug store chains are engaged in a fierce recruiting battle, poaching them from one another. She’d be employed making at least $70K if she was a pharmacist.

She should have married so she would have some support instead of having to fend for herself. /s

They accounted for just 12 percent of the female workforce, but represented 42 percent of lost jobs among women, according to a recent report called Black Women in the United States, which highlights their disproportionate loss during the recovery. Black women work minimum wage jobs more than any other demographic, the report notes.

Gee and they make up 12% of the population...what a coincidence!

ngie Stackhouse worked as a pharmacist, a loan officer, as a volunteer at homeless organizations and mostly as an electrician in Maryland, making $12.50 an hour.

Pure BS. No way does a 'pharmacist' work for $12.50 and hour. Not unless that 'pharmacist' was caught dispensing drugs on a street corner. My guess is she worked at a CVS stocking shelves for a couple of weeks.

[research99]

She’d be able to walk into any government office that was hiring and get the job, due to affirmative action set-asides. Black and female is also a two-fer for any firm that receives government contracts.

[pgkdan]

And I don’t know about that $12.50 per hour as an electrician either, I think they make a good deal more than that!

Electrician's laborers make more than that...

[Cyman]

It must be because all the black guys with money only date/marry white women, at least out here in California.

[MaxMax]

In todays world a company without an inhouse attorney is asking for trouble
if they hire Gays or Blacks. I wonder how Blacks feel about this Democrat utopia.

There is an all out War on all business in America and this is just one front.

[Lord North]

Recovery summer, or fall, or recovery Tuesday or something.

To be a registered Pharmacist you must have a BS Pharmacy or a Pharm D degree and pass the State Board.

This is crap.

[5th MEB]

I want to know how she worked as a pharmacist with out a degree in pharmacology?

[shotgun]

I call total BS on this article. the average salary for a Pharmacists in Baltimore makes close to $126,000. Union Electricians are over$40/hour
