For Mother's Day, the Joint Center released a policy snapshot examining the economic conditions of Black mothers and the children and families who depend on them.

The third brief in the Centering Black Workers in Emerging Industries series highlights the importance of dedicated funding for regional initiatives that aim to connect Black workers with new, in-demand job opportunities.

This fact sheet provides an overview of key changes, its impact on African Americans, key takeaways, and policy prescriptions.

The report examines economic conditions facing Black communities in 2025, a year marked by rising Black unemployment and economic regression.

Each month, the Joint Center analyzes the employment numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and showcases what the numbers mean for Black workers.
