At 63.6%, the share of Hispanics w/ a job remains relatively stable in 2025. In fact, the employment rate (ER) of prime-age Hispanics matched the peak (79.2%) reached in June. The ER for Latinas (59.1%) and Latinos (75.5%) edged up slightly in September. #EconSky #JobsDay

Native children are most affected. AIAN children remain more than twice as likely as their white peers to suffer debilitating poverty, threatening outcomes into adulthood.

AIAN individuals are also more likely to be uninsured than peers, leaving them subject to painful disparities in life expectancy.

As the Trump-Vance admin continues to fight for the legal right to let Americans go hungry, food insecurity threatens Native families disproportionately.

Disparities in income continue to leave families of color with children disproportionately vulnerable to poverty. Black & Hispanic children remain 3 times as likely as their white peers to suffer poverty. #EconSky #NumbersDay

New Census 2024 income data show a mixed picture for families of color. Asian & Hispanic families saw their median income rise. But Black families experienced a fall. Typical Black & Hispanic households continue to earn just a fraction of their white peers' income. #EconSky #NumbersDay

While relatively stable this year, the share of Hispanics w/ a job (63.4%) continues to edge down very slowly since April. This is also reflected in the employment rates of both Latinas and Latinos, falling only slightly to 58.9% and 75.3% in August.

Despite the strong policy response to the pandemic recession, more low-income Black (85.1%) and Hispanic (83.0%) families with children struggle with housing insecurity than they did before the Great Recession.

Poverty declined throughout the long economic recovery leading up to the pandemic recession in 2020. While pandemic relief efforts contributed to further reductions, more than 2 in 5 low-income Black and Hispanic families continue to struggle with poverty after the expiration of those programs.

After more than a decade, low-income families are still recovering from the sharp decline in labor market attachment during the Great Recession that started in 2008. The share of Hispanic families with at least one full-time earner is farthest from what it was in 2007 before that recession began.

The Hispanic unemployment rate (UR) increased slightly to 5% in July. While the UR of Latinas stayed at 4.5% last month, the UR of Latinos climbed marginally to 4.2%. Large downward revisions in payrolls for May & June point to a weaker labor market than what URs suggest. #EconSky #JobsDay
