Black workers have been hit hardest by the pandemic. We are more likely to lose income because of Covid-related layoffs and shutdowns, and by last August five months into the pandemic Black unemployment was nearly double that of white unemployment.
But the impact is not just economic. We are three times more likely to be exposed to Covid-19 on the job and twice as likely to die from the virus.

That African American workers need to amass the power to better their conditions is beyond dispute. The American working class is in serious trouble, and Black workers most particularly. The median net wealth of Black families is just $24,100 (lower than any other racial group in America today), while that of white families stands at $188,200.
