Where Unemployment Isn’t Low and Gerald Horne on the Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy and Capitalism in Our Colonial Past

We’ve heard that unemployment is really low, but where are the pockets of jobless workers? This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, we’ll talk with Jacqueline Midkiff from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Then, in his latest book, Gerald Horne argues that we can’t understand race and class in America unless we go back to our colonial past where black and white were invented. Tune in Thursday at 6pm, rebroadcast Friday at 5am.
