Joblessness for Black workers is rising again, two years after reaching a record low. The Trump administration’s assault on diversity programs and cuts to the federal work force could make it even more difficult for Black workers to recover when economic conditions improve.

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

Federal layoffs and an end to diversity initiatives have weakened a historically strong labor market for Black workers.

Like the BIGGEST danger of Generative AI, particularly in Journalism, isn’t in it’s ability to fabricate lies, its instead a side-effect of that: that people will doubt the truth, even when presented hard evidence. AI is pushing us toward a dangerous cultural psychosis, where reality doesn’t exist.
