就业市场的种族歧视:黑人失业率远高于白人

Lance Lambert 2020-07-09
就业市场一直以来并未平等对待拉美裔美国人和美国黑人。

上周五,随着企业继续重雇员工,失业率从13.3%降至11.1%。但是,特殊时期对有色人群的经济影响仍然比美国白人更严重:美国白人的失业率为10.1%,而亚裔和拉美裔的失业率分别为13.8%、14.5%。黑人的失业率最高,达到15.4%。

但是,这种种族经济鸿沟也凸显了一个事实,即就业市场一直以来并未平等对待拉美裔美国人和美国黑人。自美国劳工统计局(BLS)于1972年开始计算失业率以来,黑人的失业率在405个月内或该时间段69.6%的时间内均超过了10%。与此同时,白人失业率仅在同期三个月内或该时间段0.5%的时间内超过两位数。

拉美裔的失业率已有190次超过两位数,或者说自1973年3月美国劳工统计局开始计算拉美裔失业率以来33.5%的月份内超过两位数。自2000年美国劳工统计局开始计算亚裔失业率以来,亚裔工作者的失业率已三度或在该时间段1.2%的时间内超过两位数。

白人失业率达到两位数的三个月均出现在2020年公共卫生事件爆发之后。目前的白人11.1%失业率仅稍低于1972年以来美国黑人的平均失业率11.4%。

但是,联邦政府每周额外发放600美元失业救济金在某种程度上减弱了特殊时期失业人员的压力。这项福利将于7月底到期。

三月以来,失业问题一直以不均衡地方式蔓延。5月20日至5月26日期间,《财富》杂志与SurveyMonkey联合对4,109名美国成年人进行的民意测验,结果显示,约有24%的黑人表示自己失去了工作,还有31%的黑人被迫减工或减薪。相比之下,白人有11%失业,而28%的白人被迫减工或减薪。(财富中文网)

On Friday the unemployment rate fell from 13.3% to 11.1% as employers continue to rehire staff. But the economic impacts of the pandemic are still hitting communities of color harder than white Americans: The jobless rate among white workers is 10.1%, compared with 13.8% for Asian workers, and 14.5% for Hispanic workers. The jobless rate is highest among Black workers at 15.4%.

But this racial economic divide also highlights the fact that the job market has always been unequal for Hispanic and Black Americans. The unemployment rate among Black workers has topped 10% in 405 months, or 69.6% of the time, since the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) started calculating it in 1972. Meanwhile, the white unemployment rate has topped double digits in only three months during that same period, or 0.5% of the time.

The unemployment rate among Hispanic or Latino workers has topped double digits 190 times, or 33.5% of the months since March 1973 when the BLS started calculating that rate. And since 2000, when the BLS started calculating an unemployment rate among Asian workers, it has topped double digits on three occasions, or 1.2% of months during that period.

The three months in which the white jobless rate topped double digits all occurred since the onset of the 2020 pandemic. The current 11.1% unemployment rate is just below the average unemployment rate for Black Americans since 1972 of 11.4%.

However, workers who have lost jobs during the pandemic have felt the effects blunted somewhat by the extra $600 per week in federal unemployment benefits, which are set to expire at the end of July.

Since March, the economic pain has continued to be unevenly spread. Some 24% of Black workers say they have lost their jobs, and another 31% have seen cuts to their hours or pay, finds a Fortune-SurveyMonkey poll of 4,109 U.S. adults, conducted between May 20 and May 26. In comparison, 11% of white workers have lost their jobs, and 28% have experienced cuts to their hours or pay.
