This is an eye-opening piece about jobs in America and the racial disparities in unemployment. Kroll breaks down a number of the possible explanations and reviews some pretty dismal studies about how differently white and black job-seekers are perceived. I wish I had an elaborate commentary, but at the end of the day, this is just flat out wrong.
