forget that tis people we are talking about out there...
The first chart is from NYTimes, and shows U.S. the differences.
the 2nd chart is from AP - which almost every month show U.S. this same spread.
What is also very interesting is that not only are the UI rates for hispanics high, but they were the 1st to be let go and they are the first ones to be re-hired. Let go bcuz they were our construction workers; re-hired bcuz they will work for less money.
Not nice, but what is.
