Shari E. Runner discusses unemployment rate of young black men in Chicago

CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - A new study paints a very bleak picture of unemployment among African Americans in Chicago’s poorest neighborhoods.

The study was done for the Alternative Schools Network. Researchers looked at employment numbers from 2014 and found that 41 percent of all blacks ages 20-24 in Chicago were out of work and out of school compared to 27 percent in New York City and 29 percent in Los Angeles.

Chicago Urban League President Shari E. Runner joined us LIVE on GDC to talk more about the findings of this study.
