About 45% of black men in Chicago age 20-24 were neither working nor in school in 2017, the analysis found. Nearly 20% of Latino men in that age group were out of work and not in school.
Taking into account women, 37% of Chicago’s young black adults don’t have a job and aren’t attending school, according to the analysis.
Their white counterparts, meanwhile, have fared much better due to steep advantages such as longstanding family wealth, investment in their communities and not fighting racism, the report said. In Chicago, only 5.7% of white young adults age 20-24 are out of school and out of work.
Those young men are far worse off than all men their age around the country, where about 24% aren’t working or studying.
