Overall unemployment fell to a better-than-expected 8.8 percent in March as the economy added roughly 216,000 jobs, the Labor Department announced Friday. Those are the kind of figures that economists say indicate a strengthening recovery, though they caution that it's well below the rate of job growth the nation needs to see -- uninterrupted, for years -- if employment is ever to return to a level comparable to the years before the Great Recession.

When the recession began in 2007, black and Latino workers lost their
jobs at a faster clip, said Roderick Harrison, a Howard University
sociologist and demographer who is also a fellow at the Joint Center for
Political and Economic Research, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.

Now, despite the recession's official end and incremental job gains
for all types of workers, it's black and Latino workers who are having
the hardest time finding work again.
