Half of UK's young black males are unemployed | Society. More than half of young black men available for work in Britain are now unemployed, according to unpublished government statistics obtained by the Guardian which show the recession is hitting young black people disproportionately hard. The new figures, which do not include students, also reveal that the youth unemployment rate for black people has increased at almost twice the rate for white 16- to 24-year-olds since the start of the recession in 2008. Young black men are the worst affected of all, according to a gender breakdown contained within the data supplied by the Office for National Statistics. Unemployment among young black men has doubled in three years, rising from 28.8% in 2008 to 55.9% in the last three months of 2011.

Although the ONS said the gender breakdown should be treated with caution due to a relatively small sample size, the figures brought calls for further government action from business and community figures in the UK. March 2012 | Labour Market Analysis | Inclusion. Youth employment rate slumps | Business. If confirmation were needed of the obstacles facing young people looking for work, it comes in Wednesday's official figures showing a dramatic drop in the youth employment rate. The Office for National Statistics has helped lay out the scale of the youth unemployment problem for ministers struggling to defend their latest labour market initiatives by reporting that the employment rate for young people has declined much faster than for older workers in recent years.

It's a change from the pattern seen between 1992 and 2004 when young people not in full-time education had an employment rate similar to those aged 25 to 64. In fact, in January-March 2004, there was a gap of just 0.2 percentage points between the employment rate of 25-to-64-year-olds (75.5%) and that of 16-to-24-year-olds not in full-time education (75.3%). Fast-forward to October-December 2011 and the rate for the older age group was little different, at 74.9%. Youth unemployment hits 1 million | Business.

Youth unemployment has risen above 1 million – with more than a fifth of 16 to 24-year-olds unemployed. Photograph: Alamy Youth unemployment has broken through the 1 million mark to a record high and the UK's wider unemployment rate has climbed to a 15-year high. The government sought to blame the deterioration in the jobs market on pressures from the eurozone debt crisis but came under attack for ignoring problems at home. Fears that young people are bearing the brunt of Britain's economic slowdown were underscored by official figures showing there were 1.02 million unemployed 16 to 24-year-olds between July and September. One in five young people are now out of work.

"Today's ugly labour market data will raise concerns that the UK economic recovery is fading away, and that a long-term impact will be felt among the nation's youth," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit. The wider national picture was also one of a deteriorating jobs market. UK unemployment increases to 2.62m. 16 November 2011Last updated at 16:45 UK unemployment rose by 129,000 in the three months to September to 2.62 million, as youth unemployment rose above a million. The jobless total for 16 to 24-year-olds hit a record of 1.02 million in the quarter and female unemployment was at its highest for 23 years.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the jobless rate hit 8.3%. The number of people out of work and claiming Jobseeker's Allowance rose by 5,300 to 1.6 million in October. The news comes as the Bank of England's governor Sir Mervyn King said Britain's economy could stagnate until the middle of next year.

The Bank cut its 2011 and 2012 growth predictions to about 1%, warning the global economic outlook had "worsened". Female unemployment Continue reading the main story Hugh PymChief economics correspondent, BBC News The news from the latest labour market figures is almost universally gloomy.
