staggering and appalling. I've followed this for a good while, it's frightening and destabilizing for black people and the US overall to put it mildly. It's like how the employment nos. don't figure in people who have left, given up looking for jobs, or those scraping by on temp and part time jobs, sometimes 2 or 3 with long hours and no benefits, and of course the large no. of people in prison who are officially out of the workforce.

Our economic security, meaning those not in the 1-5% at the top, is the lowest it's ever been in modern times, despite a media spun 'recovery' that's benefited primarily the wealthiest through the rising stock market. It's a dangerous environment for people- especially blacks, PoC, minorities-the most vulnerable and also the position of the US geopolitically.
