Why is there a HIGH RATE of unemployment in inner city areas?

excellent question, think of it this way you need a new pair of trousers but in the local high street shops they cost say 50 quid, now if you go out of town to a a factory retail oulet you can get them for half price. a lot of companies move out of town to ruralish areas because they are given a tax benefit/exemption to pull resources from the local area. if the companies through sheer greed of the owners take the tax break to move out of town the number of unemployed will increase, who can afford to travel twice everyday for 20 miles to get to work? luckily i work for an agency. \nas for low education, well if an area has low employment people are going to have to quit school early to bring money into the house for the family. its all down to the greed of company directors, how many millions can make them happy.

There are a lot of motivated people stuck in dead end jobs.\n\nIt could also be geographic location. If you live in a place with very few good paying jobs, then you pretty much have to take what you can get, unless you start your own business.

that may be part of it but the main reason is because a LOT of rich business men who own big companies use cheap, immigrant workers rather than pay decent wages to American citizens.the same reason big business has moved to China,India,etc.

Years ago, inner-city public schools were fine institutions of learning and prepared their students for the working world.\n\nI think that current inner city public schools are an abomination and do not properly prepare the students for college or career.\n\nI find that suburban school districts, private schools and charter schools give our children an excellent education to prepare them for their futures.

It is difficult to find employment because the economy is high.  If prices were much lower, there would be jobs. All the jobs are overseas.Tell your clients to try temp agencies where you live. At least they have some money coming in, better then NO MONEY. Register for around 6-7 agencies. I am SURE they have something that they qualify for. Good Luck.

Structural unemployment occurs when there are unemployed workers and job vacancies at the same time. The workers do not have the skills to fill the job vacancies. This type of unemployment is unaffected by business cycles. The cure is education and training.

Very busy. Tough trouble to get jobs and homes sometimes because of the population, that's why they call it the "Windy City"

Because they know you'll cover their butt.  It used to chap my hide too, but there everywhere.  Nowadays its harder to get rid of employees with all the laws and unemployment claims that employers are putting up with it.  I think eventually it'll catch up to them; you'll have a house you own, they won't...you'll have a car paid off, they won't.  You will be retired when you want to, they won't.  In the end, I want to believe the hard worker will be better off.

Economy\n \nDowntown Brooklyn is the third largest business district in New York City.Brooklyn's job market is driven by three main factors: the performance of the national/city economy, population flows, and the borough's position as a convenient back office for New York's businesses.[5]\n\nForty-four percent of Brooklyn's employed population, or 410,000 people, work in the borough; more than half of the borough's residents work outside its boundaries. As a result, economic conditions in Manhattan are important to the borough's jobseekers. Strong international immigration to Brooklyn generates jobs in services, retailing and construction.[6]\n\nIn recent years Brooklyn has benefited from a steady influx of financial back office operations from Manhattan, the rapid growth of a high-tech/entertainment economy in DUMBO, and strong growth in support services such as accounting, personal supply agencies and computer services firms.[7]\n\nJobs in the borough have traditionally been concentrated in manufacturing, but since 1975, Brooklyn has shifted from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based economy. In 2004, 215,000 Brooklyn residents worked in the services sector, while 27,500 worked in manufacturing. Although manufacturing has declined, a substantial base has remained in apparel and niche manufacturing concerns such as furniture, fabricated metals, and food products.[8] The pharmaceutical company Pfizer has a manufacturing plant in Brooklyn that employs 990 workers.\n\nConstruction and services are the fastest growing sectors.[9] Most employers in Brooklyn are small businesses. In 2000, 91% of the approximately 38,704 business establishments in Brooklyn had fewer than 20 employees.[10]\n\nThe unemployment rate in Brooklyn in March 2006 was 5.9%.

When it is hard to find jobs, then management can pretty much call the shots. When it is hard to find workers, management has to offer more to attract employees.

well not necessarily - that might just mean that more people are attracted (in India) to this city looking for jobs...but probably more to do with the work done by Mother Theresa for the poor in that city.\n\nI think Brasilia or Sao Paula in Brazil may have more poor - after all the populations of these cities are 25+ million. Also Mexico City has 37 million population.

sounds like someone has an economics exam coming up. \nProbably has something to do with employment rates and consumerism.   the ability of the population to keep the economy rolling, by having positive cash flow.

No, The inner city is more dangerous than ever. They are still looking for the goverment to solve the problems. Parents are not around at all.\n\nYes, There are more blacks in collage, blacks are everywhere in the media, There are more middle and upper class working blacks with collage degrees. Society is becoming more intergrated.\n\nNo, Black leaders profit from false racism.

With the percentage of creative class workers in the mid- to high 30s and with world-class universities, high-tech resources, vibrant downtowns and educated, responsive workforces, cities such as Raleigh-Durham; Washington, D.C.; San Francisco; Sacramento; New Haven; San Diego; Dallas; Philadelphia; and others - including mid-size cities such as Tucson, Allentown and Little Rock and small cities such as New London, CT; Des Moines; and Lansing - are exploiting, in the best sense of that word, their important market resources and building on them to create good jobs and livable communities.

Massive unemployment would be unemployment to a point where the economy ceases to properly function.  It varies by economic system, government and time. The US unemployment rate was running around 5% at the end of 2005, compared to the EU, which was around 9%.  Economists vary on what would be ideal, but both are well below what would be considered "massive unemployment."\n\nIt can cause a lot of problems in that a person cannot buy goods, the company not selling goods cannot pay wages, and more people become unemployed.  Although a free-market economy will fix itself and unemployment will fall to a healthy amount, it is too slow for most people, so the government involves itself by offering unemployment insurance and tax incentives to businesses.
