GM one of Fort Wayne Top employer will it get money from the bailout plan ?


  1. Principal Employers - Name Employees Rank Employment Employees Rank Employment

    Fort Wayne Community Schools 4,201
    Parkview Memorial Hospital 3,844
    Lutheran Health Network 3,432
    General Motors - Truck & Bus Group 2,981
    Allen County Government 1,964
    ITT Aerospace - Communications Div. 1,910
    The City of Fort Wayne 1,905
    Lincoln Financial Group 1,750
    BF Goodrich 1,502
    Verizon 1,459


    Total of Ten Largest Taxpayers 24,948


In the City of Fort Wayne 95% of the African-American live in the City (35, 752) while 56% of raced whites live in the City (155,231) according to data collected by the Allen County Library from the 2000 United States Census Bureau. This does not count Latinos or Burmeses. Can someone tell just how many African-Americans work in the ten largest taxpayers. I would assume Fort Wayne Community Schools hired the most and Lincoln Financial Group comes in second, and the rest???? How many of those 44% of raced white who live outside the city actually works for employers in the City????

Do you think this would explain why there is over a 11% unemployment rate of African-American if they are competing with folks who live outside the City?
What percentage of African-Americans work for GM in Fort Wayne from Wayne Township?
