43 -63% of Africans in Ireland are unemployed

Harvey Weinstein

Dr Ebun Joseph talked to Ray D'Arcy on Tuesday to tell him about her research on African unemployment in Ireland. Dr. Joseph explained that the unemployment rate for Africans in Ireland is between 43% and 63%

And this was because Irish people are racist

Surprise surprise

What % of them have actually applied for a job?

Samuel T. Cogley

In fairness we're not above a bit of, let's call it stereotyping.

The company I work in hires contract staff in quite regularly. There is often African lads come in. They require a lot of extra attention and training.

Most have never been in a factory environment before. Unfortunately some of them react negatively to this extra attention. They perceive it as being due to their colour. I cannot emphasize enough that it is ability. not race that necessitates the extra attention. Before I would have helped out with training them up, but now Ill stay away from it.

Crazy figures. Still a bit to go to reach the disgustingly grotesque native Irish traveller figures for unemployment. Wasters.

What is wrong with these people. Seem to be spoiling for an argument and are hyper sensitive. I don't blame you.

99.9% would take some doing

What % of those eligible and able to work are unemployed?

Be interesting to know how many children are included in those figures.

Harry Palmr

43 - 63% is a ludicrously wide estimation.

Presumably this refers to people who are eligible to work.

As for the racist Irish angle well just read this forum for proof. Where is Dr Brown these days?

Yea cant be easy to employ them.

What will happen to some of these areas which are predominantly black in west Dublin - Ongar, Tyrellstown and Adamstowm with unemployment figures like that?

They will turn into no-go areas with high crime and low property prices.

Economic black spots

What percentage on top of this are in government funded workfare schemes like NGOs or in interminable adult education courses with little practical benefit? How many Africans are genuine net contributors to the exchequer once all the freebies are taken out of the equation? A controversial guesstimate- no more than a couple of hundred.

Which means employers could tap into a lot of labor fast, potentially.

Any chance of providing some sources that there are more black people than white people in those three areas?

My partner is a qualified mechanic, from a country where English is a national language and he has had a nightmare trying to find work that will give him a contract. Many garages have "employed" him while continuing to look for another mechanic and then telling him he is surplus to requirements. He has done trial periods where they refused to pay him at the end, he has worked as the only mechanic in a garage who refused to pay him minimum wage or give him any form of contract.

Some already have.

These people are the product of a poor environment. There's nothing wrong with them and I can prove it. I bet that with the right encouragement and surroundings, an African migrant could run this country as well as your young Varadkar.

It might be a bit much to expect some people here to read actual academic research before they launch into airing their established biases, but for what it’s worth:

Here's another important study:

Could it be that he's not very good at being a mechanic?

43 - 63% of this thread is racist.

Chalk McHugh

I would say there is a tiny percentage of rascists on here but a very low tolerance of people of any colour who wont wont work or refuse to work with no legitimate reasson bar they just dont want to.
