"Black unemployment is typically about double that of white workers"

"Some 3.5 million Black workers lost or left their jobs in March and April 2020. In weeks, the unemployment rate for Black workers soared to 16.8%, the same as the peak after the 2008 financial crisis, while the rate for white workers topped out at 14.1%."

"In a paper published last month, Lawrence Summers, a former Treasury secretary and top economic adviser to Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, asserted with his co-authors that the Fed would need to allow the overall unemployment rate to rise to 5% or above — it is now 3.5% — to bring inflation under control. Since Black unemployment is typically about double that of white workers, that suggests that the rate for Black workers would approach or reach double digits."
