UNTUCK

The National Urban League’s State of Black America 2010 // Jobs: Responding to the Crisis addresses the staggering job losses the country continues to face. Confronting nationwide unemployment, the report outlines innovative steps that must be taken—including supporting small businesses and the emerging green economy, reforming education and expanding broadband access—to move this country and our urban communities forward toward full economic and social equity.

The report presents the National Urban League’s plan for creating jobs and includes the 2010 Equality Index™, which examines African-American and Latino progress in economics, education, health, civic engagement and social justice.

The cover, a cracked asphalt photo with the exposed tips of typical men’s and women’s working shoes, give life to the job-hunting expression, "pounding the pavement" and depict a dire state of the current employment situation in the United States.

The State of Black America 2010 // Jobs: Responding to the Crisis won an American Graphic Design Award.
