U.S. Black unemployment rate rises to nearly three-year high, triggering economic warning image 0 Valerie Wilson of the Economic Policy Institute said that Black families are more likely to rely on a single source of income.

  The latest data shows that while the overall U.S. unemployment rate remains at a low 4.2%, the unemployment rate among Black Americans has risen to 7.2%, the highest level since October 2021. This trend is seen as a warning sign of a cooling labor market, which could impact the employment progress made by the Black community during and after the pandemic.

  Data indicates that unemployment rates among Black workers have risen significantly across all education levels. Some economists point out that Black workers are more likely to be concentrated in low-skill and entry-level positions, making them the first to be affected when overall hiring slows. In addition, the recent rise in unemployment among Black college graduates may be related to layoffs at federal agencies. The U.S. federal government has historically been an important employment channel for Black workers.

  Several economists believe that this phenomenon reflects long-standing structural disparities in employment and may also signal broader risks in the labor market. "This is a canary in the coal mine," said Kenneth Couch, an economist at the University of Connecticut.

  Case studies show that some Black workers have difficulty finding stable positions for extended periods after being laid off. Some highly educated job seekers have sent out hundreds of resumes with little success and have had to rely on gig work to make a living; some middle-aged workers have even been forced to move back in with family due to the pressure of rent or student loans after losing their jobs.

  In 2023, the unemployment rate among Black Americans once dropped to 4.8%, the lowest on record, and the gap between Black and white unemployment rates also narrowed to a historic low. However, as the labor market weakens and some companies scale back diversity hiring initiatives, economists are concerned that the unemployment rate among the Black community will continue to rise.

  The U.S. Department of Labor will release the latest employment data this Friday, and the market will closely watch whether overall employment trends will experience greater volatility due to worsening unemployment among the Black community.
