I find this fairly interesting:

    ...black male prime-age earners increased their hours 3.7 percent, versus just 1.6 percent for white men.

It is interesting in the context of another article I saw today about how black home ownership and black unemployment, as well as black wealth relative to white wealth, are all as bad or worse than in the 1960s. Those two things don't seem to square very easily, unless the overall increase in unemployment is more than enough to cancel out the decently large gains in hours worked. That is a sad state of affairs.
