Since 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.” - Aired on 09/07/2025.

1. I'm glad to se this coverage. It will definitely ripple through

our economy, and it erases gains that black women have finally achieved.

2. Agreed! And this needs more coverage since we know that TFG is a bigot

And has gone after Black people, especially women - and we know how he feels about the smarter and more competent Kamala Harris.
