Graduating College Students Face
Shrinking Job Market
by Pharoh Martin, NNPA
National Correspondent
|
WASHINGTON (NNPA)-
The mangled state of today’s
economy isn’t giving this year’s
class of graduating college
students much optimism about
securing employment after they
cross that stage.
The Bureau of Labor statistics
estimates as many 1.4 million
college graduates are about to
enter a severely contracted job
market that seems to be getting
worse.
For many, the anxiety of
figuring out life after school, in
some ways, trumps the joys of
finishing the four-year college
grind. The worries are worse
for Black graduates, who are
historically among the first fired
and the last hired, according to
statistics.
Depressing job prospects are
leading many African-American
grads in search of alternatives
to the traditional 9-to-5. ‘’I’ve
taken a job teaching English
in South Korea,’’ said Atrice
Williams, preparing to graduate
from Washington, D.C.-based
Howard University May 9.

Tables turn in discrimination lawsuit
Lexington nurse now being asked
to pay employers legal expenses
|
The saying goes: The wheels of justice
turn slowly.
Since 2005 several local nurses have
been embroiled in a dispute with their
former employer, Select Specialty Hospital
and parent Select Medical Corporation
(SMC), a long-term hospital located within
UK Healthcare’s Samaritan Hospital on
Limestone Street in Lexington.
After weeks of depositions in 2008,
days of protests in 2007, and searching for
new jobs the nurses expected to have their
day in court in January 2009.
However, the day before their attorney
contacted them and explained that Judge
Joseph Hood threw their cases out of
court.
Plaintiffs, Monica Hall (now Heuston),
Rotasha Jackson, Tisha Spencer, Cabrina
Logan and Pauline Robinette all claim
that while employed by Select they were
discriminated against and treated unjustly by
superiors and co-workers based on their race
and Hall and Jackson allege that they were
fired in retaliation for filing complaints with
the Lexington Human Rights Commission
and the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission.

Reality
Artist: Lisa McClendon
Blu Soul Entertainment
4.28.09
After the great success of 3 previous
CDs, Lisa McClendon returns with her
fourth highly anticipated CD, Reality
(BluSoul Entertainment). Having written
and co-produced the majority of the
CD, REALITY captures the essence
of who Lisa McClendon truly is personally
and musically. In her desire to reach
the total man, McClendon penned songs
that provide therapeutic and heart-felt
melodies for those who deal with the
everyday struggles and triumphs of life.
Already being dubbed as Lisa McClendon's best work to date, she is moving
forward with a new look, new self-owned
label, momentum and vision. McClendon
has teamed up with Grammy nominated,
super producer Herb Big Herb Middleton
(Mary J. Blige, Usher, SWV) to help bring
that vision to pass. McClendon states,
This time around I can really do what I
believe I am gifted to do. People don't
want to deal with reality, but it s time to
be real. |

He and She
Artist: Wynton Marsalis
Bluenote Records 3.24.09
As the title to WYNTON MARSALIS’s fifth
Blue Note release indicates, He and She is
about that eternally compelling and most elemental
of subjects: the relationship between
a man and a woman. The Pulitzer Prize-winning
composer, trumpeter, and band leader,
however, hasn’t merely crafted a love story,
but a life story -- a bittersweet rumination
about the evanescence of life as well as the
elusiveness of romance. |

Epiphany
Artist: Chrisette Michele
Def Jam Records 5.5.09
2009 sophomore release from the
Grammy Award-winning R&B vocalist.
Two years after releasing her debut
album I Am, which was nominated for
a BET Award as well as two Grammy
awards, Chrisette Michele is at it again.
This time she is changing things up
from the first album with a more edgy,
youthful and urban feel. |
