New eye-popping data shows what is not often cited in the nation's labor force. Fresh numbers reveal that unemployment for Black workers this year is steadily rising, especially for Black women.
A disturbing trend was identified in the latest information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Among other findings, the report disclosed that the jobless rate for Black women rose to 6.1% in April, a full percentage point surge from 5.1%......
"The unusual nature of this increase in Black women’s unemployment is a testament to and a direct result of the anti-DEI and anti-Black focus of the new administration's policies," he says. ” This is demonstrably damaging to the Black community, something we have not seen before."
For Black women, Cunningham says the latest numbers show those seeking work are not finding jobs, making gaining employment more difficult for them.
He added that Black women losing DEI roles and federal government jobs, fueled by Trump-led policies, impact them because their joblessness is growing. Those women are also purportedly to account for a larger share of federal employee roles that have fallen in the last three months as the Trump regime has acted to cut the workforce. The BLS report disclosed that federal government employment fell by 9,000 in April and is down by 26,000 since January.
Based on another report, minorities are frequently discharged first from jobs when the economy declines. Andre Perry, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has stated, “The layoffs at the federal level where Black people are more represented, the impacts of the tariffs, particularly on small businesses that hire Black women, and just the overall use of DEI as a slur, which may be contributing to a lack of hiring of Black women, all of these factors are probably at play."

Thank you very much and God bless you.
But not sure that tariffs are causing US unemployment. I think that's more media and rat disinformation.
They need to lose MUCH more. They are ruining the American workforce.
Just more data supporting the unspoken truth that many of them are DEI valueless employees, draining the workforce of qualified resources with their “bloodsucking, lifestealing employments.
Let me guess, the majority of losses were in Virgina, DC and Maryland?
I see black women in EVERY show and commercial ALL DAY. And black women have all the jobs in government. Every welfare office so they have good paying jobs and pension and ins.

I do not believe such propaganda.
If black women are having high unemployment, it is because if the Biden inflationary economy on the services industry.
These bastids are simply playing the revlooshunary strategy of sayin DEI worked. It did not.Ask Shawn Duffy.
These propagandists want black women in the streets , committing riot, mayhem and arson against federal property this summer.Simpl that.
Coincidentally, “DEI” policies are being abolished nationwide, both in government and in industry.
>> Black women losing DEI roles and federal government jobs... [black] women are also purportedly to account for a larger share of federal employee roles that have fallen in the last three months as the Trump regime has acted to cut the workforce... federal government employment fell by 9,000 in April and is down by 26,000 since January.
W I N N I N G !!!
I voted for this. (Not to make black women unemployed but to cancel DEI and reduce federal employment, and if black women are hardest hit... well, sorry, but drop your ghetto ‘tude and learn real skills and get back in the game...)
Black women have suffered a huge hit on their image during the few years. Horrible role models like Whoopie, Crocket, Kamala and the First Wookie make black women look stupid. Black female failures in academia, entertainment and business appear in the news every day. DEI has been a disaster for black women.
If you rely on DEI for your hiring, you likely shouldn’t have been hired in the first place.
What bollocks.

I worked military procurement, it seemed the engineers were mostly white/Asian and male while logistics was predominately black.
>> I see black women in EVERY show and commercial ALL DAY.
Judging just by commercials (teevee, online, and print), 75% of the American workforce is female, black and/or queer.
Letitia James still has a job. For now.
The article notes that at the same time, the unemployment rate for black men fell from 6.1% to 5.6%. In other words, all of the bullshit diversity coordinators and similar positions got fired, while manufacturing and blue collar work jobs increased.
They were fired for twerking on the job
In the hit on the image of black women category, don’t forget the black DAs perpetrating lawfare on Donald Trump. Meanwhile black violent crime was running rampant in their cities. Typically while the DAs had ethically if not legally questionable activities. Letitia James, Fani Willis, etc.
Now they have to find real jobs
