Black/African American Unemployment Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 562,987,434 people shows a very strong positive correlation between the proportion of Blacks/African Americans and unemployment in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.873 and weighted average of 6.6%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Blacks/African Americans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.081% in unemployment.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Blacks/African Americans and unemployment does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of Blacks/African Americans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of unemployment within an area, or if Blacks/African Americans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of unemployment due to other factors.
