Unemployment Rate Remained Stubbornly High For Black Women In June

We need change—and we need it now. The current labor crisis facing Black women is deeply concerning. When Black women become unemployed, they tend to remain jobless for longer periods compared to other groups. This prolonged unemployment not only affects their financial stability but also their ability to care for their families. Jasmine Tucker, the vice president for research at the National Women’s Law Center, revealed to The 19th that in June, Black women faced the longest average period of unemployment across all groups, with many remaining jobless for more than six months before securing new employment.
