How to use "Out of work" in context?
On any given day, there are over 55 million people in the United States who are out of work. That's over 18 percent of the population. And the unemployment rate for Black Americans is much higher than for other ethnic groups - at over 27 percent, it's almost double the rate for White Americans. The recession has hit these groups especially hard.
Despite all the job prospects available today, many people are struggling to find work. There are very few jobs being created, and those that are being created are in lower wage occupations.
