A1. We live in a society, and with a labor market, grotesquely segregated by race, ethnicity, and gender. So, if you want to understand the health of the economy, you have to look at employment and labor force participation rates by demographic characteristics. #BeyondtheNumbers
A1.2 I know a lot of people are excited about the job growth. Of course, it is good news, overall. But underneath the hood we see that the benefits of this labor market are not reaching all segments of the labor market, equally. #BeyondtheNumbers
A1.3 This month, what we see is, despite significant job growth last month and white unemployment already down near 3% for three months in a row, Black workers are still unemployed at a rate double that of white workers. #BeyondtheNumbers
Yesterday marked the 6th drop of @POTUS’ monthly #ChildTaxCredit. This much-needed credit has improved the lives of families across the country, and has undoubtedly impacted women and women of color for the better. Here are two stories, from mothers in #Florida and #Indiana:
“Those who are struggling the most to get by and who face the highest burdens, mostly women in communities of color, need all of these policies that work better together.” Read about Laurie and Topacio, both in Florida, in #ChangeWire: changewire.org/2021/10/29/the…
In Indiana, Eva talks about being a low-income mom: “What’s often overlooked as not a big deal – like dance classes for my daughter. Things like that... that support our children in the long run, are really big deals [for] families in poverty.” indianapublicradio.org/news/2021/11/a…
🧵 Y’all! It is #ChildTaxCredit Awareness Day - & if you know us at all, you know we haven’t stopped talking about how these tax credits are helping our communities.
Here is the official highlight reel so far.
