NewsOne blogger Dr. Boyce Watkins recently wrote a story revealing that 38.3 percent of African Americans say they’ve lost their job at some point in the last three years.

The survey, conducted by YourBlackWorld.com, showed that although 16 percent of those surveyed were able to find another job, 88 percent say they were unable to find one that paid as well.
