Interesting international comparison of the relative economic condition of African Americans

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African...conomic_Status



"...Although the unemployment rate among African Americans (in 2002,
approximately 11% [15]) has typically been twice the rate among
European Americans (app. 5% in the same year[17]), it is still
comparable to rates found in France and Spain [18], [5], and is
slightly higher than the overall rate of the European Union [6]. When
compared to populations outside of the United States and European
Union, the collective affluence of African Americans is even more
striking and disproportionate. Based on worker income alone (excluding
purchasing power parity and extra wealth, both of which would
accentuate the comparative affluence of African Americans), African
Americans produced $586 billion in 2004[7],[8], slightly smaller than
the GDP of Brazil in 2006 (even though Brazil's population is about 5
times the size of the African American one) [9], and approximately 80%
the size of Russia's 2005 GDP (even though Russia's population is
nearly 4 times the size of the African American one [10]. In 2004 this
amount would have been ranked as the 15th largest GDP internationally
(out of 177 ranked) [11], compared to a population ranking of 33 in
2005[12].

In 2005, the populations of Poland and African Americans were roughly
equal, but the 2004 earnings of the latter group would have been nearly
2.5 times the size of the former's GDP in 2005[13]. In 2005, the
Ukraine's population was approximately 10% larger than the African
American population, but its GDP was over 8 times smaller than the 2004
earnings of the latter group. Argentina, arguably the most developed
country in Latin American (with an overwhelmingly European population
(97%)), has an unemployment rate slightly higher than that of African
Americans as a group, the poverty rate is almost twice the rate [14],
and the 2004 earnings of African American workers were nearly 3.5 times
the size of Argentina's 2005 GDP, even though Argentina's population is
slightly larger than the African American population [15]. In Mexico,
whose human development index is comparable to those of most former
Second World countries, and whose economy ranks as a mid-income one,
the poverty rate is twice the rate of African Americans as a group
[16], and even though its 2005 population was nearly 3 times the
population of African Americans, Mexico's GDP from the same year
exceeded the 2004 earnings of African American workers by only
25%[17]..."

What a load of rot. In the richest biggest economy in the world, of course
they are going to have higher productivity rates then Poland.
