Despite the unemployment rate for African-American men remaining in double digits, there has been some progress for them in the workforce. According to a recent report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for Black men dropped from 11.2 percent to 11.0 percent in December 2014, and the rate of African-American men participating in the labor force is on the rise: it increased from 66.9 percent in November to 67.8 percent in December. Many Black men are finding jobs in professional and business services, food services, bars, manufacturing, and construction. Read more.
