1) In 2000, 65 percent of black male high school dropouts in their 20's were jobless - that is, unable to find work, not seeking it or incarcerated. By 2004, the share had grown to 72 percent. Even when high school graduates were included, half of black men in their 20's were jobless in 2004.
2) Incarceration rates climbed in the 1990's and reached historic highs in the past few years. By their mid-30's, 6 in 10 black men who had dropped out of school had spent time in prison.
3) Among blacks in their late 20's, more are in prison on a given day - 34 percent - than are working - 30 percent - according to an analysis of 2000 census data by Steven Raphael of the University of California, Berkeley.
4) Dropout rates for Hispanic youths are as bad or worse but are not associated with nearly as much unemployment or crime, the data show.
