Perhaps the labor law exceptions for farming jobs explain some of the geographic discrepancy.

When I was a teenager for a time I was (legally) employed below standard minimum wage working as a farm laborer.

Interesting point. Also, black youths overwhelmingly live in urban areas where labor laws are more strictly enforced.
