There’s a persistent delusion running through America — a dangerous belief that Donald Trump will eventually defeat himself ("the fever will break").

The March, 2025 uptick in Black unemployment raises significant concerns, particularly in light of substantial job cuts within the government sector. Our analysis shows two things: 1.

In light of the decline in Black unemployment, the report of an additional 225,000 jobs being added is suspect. In March 2025, the unemployment rate for Black workers increased to 6.2%, up from 6.0% in February. This results in an increase of approximately 44,392 individuals from February to March 2025. The rise aligns with projections made last month by Creative Investment Research, which anticipated that Black Americans would lose approximately 78,000 jobs between January and February, primarily due to reductions in government employment. https://www.blackenterprise.com/report-black-folks-could-make-up-almost-80k-of-employees-out-of-work-after-february-job-cuts-primarily-in-gov...
