Wither American Working Man?

Pension Pulse: Wither American Working Man?
It's absolutely scandalous that the richest country in the world has 46 million people collecting food stamps.

And behind the 9.1% headline unemployment there is the real unemployment scandal that nobody wants to talk about.
Black unemployment surged to 16.7% in August, its highest level since 1984, while the unemployment rate for whites fell slightly to 8%.

And if you think that's scandalous, the unemployment rate for disabled people, including disabled veterans, remains outrageously high -- multiples of the black unemployment rate.
