This is the overall underemployment rate which shows the percent of people who have some part-time employment, but want full-time jobs. It shows the under-utilization of workers. The youngest group of workers, African Americans, have the highest rates of underemployment. The more common unemployment number for African Americans in specific neighborhoods of Chicago's South Side can range between 12 and 18 percent.
