Most African Americans are aware that the black community has been hit by the recent economic downturn in ways that dramatically surpass the impact of those in other communities. In a recent Your Black World Survey, we sought out to assess the extent of the damage being done to the black community as a result of the recession. As part of the survey, it was found that 38% of African American respondents have lost their job during the last three years. Of the group that lost their jobs, 88.5% were unable to find another position of equal or higher pay.
