< Now experts are worried that many blacks will remain in crisis even as the economy begins to recover, largely because the recession has eliminated so many working-class jobs in sectors like manufacturing and retail that are likely to come back slowly, if at all.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34068710/ns/business-economy_at_a_crossroads/By Allison Linn -- MSNBC.com
