Labor market gap

Article Abstract:

US Labor Market's Data from the first half of 2005 that shows an unemployment rate close to the 5.2 percent forecast by both the Congressional budget office and the federal reserve bank's 'Survey of Professional Forecasters' does not reflect that of Hispanics which is approximately a point higher than those for the population as a whole. The difference in unemployment rates could be attributed to the gap in educational attainment and English-language skills faced by may Hispanic workers.

Article Abstract:

The US economy is struggling with two large deficits, international trade and domestic budget, plus a sharp rise in gas prices, however, projections show some signs of improvement. A forecasting survey by the National Association for Business Economics predicts real GDP growth of at least 3 percent for the first half of 2006, and there is also evidence for tightening labor markets, as the unemployment rate dropped in March 2006 to 4.7 percent, with employment increasing by 384,000 jobs.
