  1. The article talks about the study of Asian-American unemployment rate is higher than other racial groups. It gave us some reason, such as a large amount of Asian-American population live in California, which has higher unemployment than other region, also many foreign-born Asian-Americans have lacking language skills. It says those reasons may cause many Asian-Americans go into low-wage industries.

  2. This article talk about that Asian-Americans have the higher unemployment in U.S. there are same reasons that why it is happening . It can be because more of them have More education and now they are losing them jobs. Other reason can be is because they have linguistic challenge. Jennifer Bradford

  3. This article really surprised me, and it remind me to work harder at English. I don't want to be in the same situation(having a hard time to find a job) because their English is not't good enough or they were born in other countries. This article gives me more motivate to set efficient plans and try my best to achieve my goals. Randy Lin

  4. This article talks about the Asian-American people who suffer the highest rates of long-term unemployment of any group in the United States. It says that the media portrayed Asian- American people as super-achievers, but the reality its different. A study says that Asian-Americans are suffering under the economic downturn. Looking at the statistics, they can break down wrong myths about that all the Asian-American people don't need help to success.

  5. This article described the Asian-American unemployment rate.Today Asian-American employment rate is lower than citizen in The U.S. there are many problems that Asian-American people have language, culture, and status in American.Employer may prefer who is from American citizen, so some Asian-American people work overtime without paying.

  6. Asian-American unemployment rate has been increasing because some foreign born had some language challenges and people prefer citizen even though they got a college degree. The article says some of them are obligated to work overtime with low wage. Marja
