The Black unemployment rate is at its highest since 2021. Here's why its a bad sign for the economy.

BLM was a unmitigated dumpster fire for blacks. Social Justice isn't a profession, neither is looting and shoplifting. They're going to be paying for it for generations.

You forgot to include the word "uppity" in your reply.

uh, maybe you're unaware that right wing groups infiltrated the protests to incite violence. A common fascist tactic. And your post proves if worked

According to court documents, Ivan Hunter, 24, admitted to traveling from San Antonio, Texas to Minneapolis with the intent to participate in a riot. Hunter is a self-described member of the Boogaloo Bois, a loosely connected group of individuals who espouse violent anti-government sentiments. The term “Boogaloo” itself references an impending second civil war in the United States and is associated with violent uprisings against the government.

can you imagine the noise we would have heard if you caught an antifa member inciting violence on Jan 6
 
"Unemployment for Black Americans is at its worst level since the pandemic, with some economists seeing the latest results as a sign of worse things to come for the US economy. The unemployment rate for Black Americans hit 7.5% in August, according to seasonally adjusted data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, its highest since October 2021 — more than double the rate seen for white workers. Some possible reasons include federal job cuts and tariff-fueled economic uncertainty.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate for Black men, at 7.1%, was slightly higher than the 6.7% unemployment rate seen for Black women in August, though Black women have seen bigger employment losses since the first quarter of this year. (Black teens of both sexes, ages 16-19, had an unemployment rate of 24.8%.)


That's not a great thing for the country's economic well-being. “What we find typically is that the unemployment rates that you see for the young, for Blacks — and particularly Black males — are a telltale sign of the direction of the economy and what we can expect to see hit overall in a few months,” said Gary Hoover, an economist at Tulane University."

I hope this isnt a harbinger of economic decline, except a poor economy might be the only thing that saves us from Trump's Totalitarianism.
Black people are lazy - or say MAGA
 
Black unemployment rate is as high as the unemployment rate in Canada.

Hopefully this doesn't portend to the USA economy going the way Canada's has.
