“The circumstances surrounding Black unemployment and underemployment point to the persistent systemic inequalities and racism that continue to affect African American job seekers at an alarmingly disproportionate rate. This is not an issue of Blacks being lazy, unmotivated, undereducated, or unqualified. At every turn African Americans are faced with a system set up to fail them and them blame them for a condition that they did not cause.”
