Instead of simply restarting our economy we need to reset it and fix the problems of the past so they are no longer destined to be the problems of the future Sponsored by gradsoflife
For most of the U.S. it’s been almost two months since states implemented stay at home orders and social distancing. And over that time period we’ve seen over 30 million people file for unemployment benefits – a staggering number that many experts predict will likely only get worse before it gets better.
Pre-COVID-19 data showed that 37.5% or nine million of the country’s approximately 24 million frontline jobs were held by people of color. To put that in perspective, people of color make up only 28% of the total population – and it should come as no surprise that people of color, particularly women, are experiencing unemployment at higher rates than white employees.
While it’s nice to see these problems aired in the news, we’ve seen this movie before. During the Great Recession there was intention to repair the broken system but the primary solution to the recovery was about putting people back to work and for the most part we did that. We had and record low unemployment.
