If you don't want to give CBS News the clicks, here's the ABC News coverage of Rev. Jesse Jackson's memorial service (Homegoing in the Black church tradition).

lol okay Olivia Pope
Yes and other things! Highly recommend you read Dr. Wilson's analysis and check out #TheDoubleTax!
According to the latest #jobsday report, Black women's unemployment is UP nearly 2 PERCENT since last year.
Read that again.
No one is saying Black women aren't educated or that you're not team Black women. I was just correcting the claim that we're the most educated overall, the numbers don't support that claim unless you're looking within group.
lol people are arguing with me but i think folks are conflating within and between group! They're not the same thing.
Google isn't a source lol
Here's another Black woman expert sharing what I was trying to get at. There is a difference between within-group and between-group.

They're linked throughout my recent posts!!
lol if i'm wrong please correct me, I'd love to be wrong about this!
lol like i'm little confused by people get upset about factual information like the story of Black unemployment rising is about Black women! That's not to say Black men didn't lose jobs at all, but it is to say the net result centers on job losses for Black women.
lol gentle reminder that you're free to disagree, correct, and critique, but disrespect from strangers? BLOCKED. Immediately.
I'm kind of confused by what is coming off weird? Everything I'm saying has citations.
lol so just to recap:
He said he lower the prices of groceries, that hasn't happened.
He said he wouldn't take to war, the country is in a war.
He said that the economy would be booming, job growth has stalled.
Call me crazy, but it sounds like we shouldn't listen to what he says.
lol lmao blocking me after I cite my sources is crazy, hopefully you learned something!
lol I wrote it ;)
Last thing. BLS does amazing work to create timely, accurate info about America's working families, a huge public good.
They are there for us & we need to show up for them.

lol people keep trying to take this conversation from Black women to Black people overall...and the reality is:
Black men experienced a net employment GAIN in 2025. This conversation about rising unemployment among Black people is SPECIFICALLY about Black women. Literally.
"Job growth stopped" is eerie as hell.
lol the scavenger's daughter for you and your uber driver
PSA: Black women are NOT the most educated demographic overall, but in comparison to our male counterparts, we outpace. We are AMONG the most-educated cc www.aauw.org/resources/ar....

Why are Black women continuing to bear the brunt of unemployment? Three words: #TheDoubleTax.
What Dr. Valerie Wilson has shown is that the group experiencing joblessness is COLLEGE-EDUCATED Black women. Let that sink in. #jobsreport #jobsday
Joy!!!!! Let's talk about it (but actually)!
While Black women's labor force participation is up (the share of Black women looking for jobs or working), the rising unemployment rate continues to be a concerning trend.

So roughly still 6X pre-surge, down from 16X, and planning for 3X long run.
In conclusion, Black people are the main characters. 🤫
