While there has been progress in reducing the unemployment rate for black and Hispanic men, their unemployment rates remain higher than that of white men. As of December 2021, the unemployment rate for white men was 3.8%, while the rate for black men was 8.1% and for Hispanic men was 5.9%. This is a significant improvement from the 1960s, when the unemployment rate for black men was over 10 times higher than that of white men. However, there is still a significant racial and ethnic disparity in unemployment rates.
