It is often said that recessions are a cultural blessing . People believe that recession will make us less materialistic and will make us look after each other. It won’t. In fact, recessions bring crime and racism. Recession hits black workers harder than whites. Between 1990 and 1992, the unemployment rate among black workers rose by a much higher percentage than among white workers. There are two reasons for this. First of all, black men are often less qualified than their white colleagues and most employers choose to lay off the less-skilled workers. Another reason is the fact that in times of recession, bosses have more freedom in picking who to fire and hire. And so come out the racist attitudes of these bosses. Discrimination is much easier in recession.
