But when the researchers compared only employed young males of both races, the differences in violent behavior vanished. Or, as the Urban Institute stated in a more recent report on long-term unemployment, ‘Communities with a higher share of long-term unemployed workers also tend to have higher rates of crime and violence’” (79).
