Black women suffered large employment losses in 2025 [View all]

https://www.epi.org/blog/black-women-suffered-large-employment-losses-in-2025-particularly-among-college-graduates-and-public-sector-workers/

"The 2025 labor market can best be characterized as faltering. The national unemployment rate climbed to its highest point in four years, job growth slowed dramatically, and federal employment fell by a staggering 277,000. Black women bore the brunt of the economic slowdown, suffering far greater employment losses than other groups of women or Black men. Notably, some of the largest losses among Black women were college graduates and public-sector workers, according to our new analysis."

I just want to know is anyone going to address this in 2026? This is a serious issue that the Democratic Party must address.


I am not trying to spam this board. I am crying out to be listened to as a BW who votes democratic. Be are being ignored!!!!
