Job discrimination persists for black Americans

Cousins Dejah and Randi Campbell are already looking for a summer job. But they know they'll be fighting an uphill battle as Black Americans in a slow-to-recover US economy.

Unemployment around the country fell to a better-than-expected 8.8 percent in March as the economy added roughly 216,000 jobs, the Labor Department announced this week. But for African-Americans, Black unemployment actually increased in March, from 15.3 to 15.5 percent--this is in comparison to jobless white workers at 7.9 percent.

For some it's not quite a surprise.
