Tips
- Employment statistics for women of color were not only more severe when the Covid-19 pandemic began, but are more sluggish in improving.
- For white workers, the unemployment rate fell to 5.6% in February. But for Black and Hispanic workers, reported jobless rates were 9.9% and 8.5%, respectively.
- But as stark as the race- and ethnicity-based disparities are, the recession’s unequal impact is more pronounced in analysis that includes both race and gender.
- Employment for Black women is 9.7% lower than it was in February 2020. Employment for white men, white women, and Black men is down 5%, 5.4% and 5.9%, respectively.
