The unemployment rate is trending down for everyone but Black folks. So, while the overall unemployment rate dropped from 4.8 percent to 4.6 percent, the Black unemployment rate remained at 7.9 percent. The Black unemployment rate, as always twice the white rate, is a testament to that. Whatever the Biden-Harris team is juggling, they risk alienating their base if they don’t do more for Black folks. Good economic news is only tepid news for Black folks.
