“State of Black America” report shows how unequal the U.S. still is

• Unemployment for black people was nearly double the rate for whites in all of 2015.
  
• In 2015, blacks had a 9.6% unemployment rate compared with 4.6% for whites
• In some places it’s worse. In Milwaukee, the unemployment rate for blacks is 17.3% compared with 4.3% for whites.
• The median income for black households was $24,000 less than white households in 2014.
• The median household income for blacks was $35,481 in 2014. Whites had a median household income of $59,662
  
• The black-white income gap was largest in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. Whites earned an average of $74,455, twice the average of $28,138 for blacks.
  
• The black-white wealth disparity (income + property + savings) is arguably the most staggering statistic of them all.
