Share of Wealth Held by the Wealthiest 10% of Households, 2005 and 2009
So where do we go from here?
· Wealth creation in the AA community is critically dependent upon improvement in the labor market
· National unemployment rates are projected to remain high through at least the end of 2012, thwarting significant improvement in the housing market
· Significant recovery in the AA housing market will require non-traditional approaches to address issues of economic blight, foreclosure, and credit
