Black Health, Employment, Jobs and the Law on Vimeo: "Income and Wealth are direct determinants of health. For most Black Americans the ability to have income and wealth is directly related to the availability and security of employment. Without adequate income from employment, access to food, housing, and other basic prerequisites of health, is impossible. However, even when employment is available, deteriorating working condition, wages and benefits, and increasing employment insecurity threatens health. As with income and wealth, Black American’s health is tied to the jobs and work they do. The nature and stability of work conditions and employment situation, and access to power,control and resources all have an impact on Black health."
