300,000+ Black women lose jobs since Trump’s return: ‘Impact will ripple throughout the economy’
Since President Trump returned to office, more than 300,000 Black women have lost their jobs, while unemployment for them has shot up from 5.4% to 6.7%. “This structural inequality among Black women will eventually create a huge deterioration in the entire economy as they don't consume as much … [and] this contagion, I believe, will spill out throughout the entire economy,” says Democratic Congresswoman Gwen Moore of Wisconsin. New School Economics Professor Darrick Hamilton warns: “The adage ‘Black people are the first fired, last hired’ is indicative of what might come for the rest of us.”

President Trump’s illegal attempted firing of Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve is part of a pattern to bend independent agencies to his political whims, risking jobs and our economy. Congress and the courts must rein in these attacks. aflcio.org/press/releas...
