Black Man Out Of Work

WASHINGTON—Joining the ranks of the unemployed at a time when joblessness remains stubbornly high among African Americans, 55-year-old local black man Barack Obama has lost the full-time job he has held for the past eight years, sources confirmed Friday.

A father of two and his family’s sole breadwinner for much of the past decade, the dismissed African-American employee was reportedly instructed to vacate his workplace by the end of the week, after which he will no longer be on his employer’s payroll.

“Minorities continue to face challenges in the job market even when they possess extensive qualifications and experience,” said Gerald Harmon, chief economist with the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University. “While the U.S. economy has enjoyed a record 75 months of continuous job growth, the grim reality for Mr. Obama is that the unemployment rate among black Americans continues to hover at around 8 percent.”
