Summary

Report Reveals Black Women Lost The Most Jobs In April And Changes In DEI Could Partially Be To Blame. Black women workers lost more jobs than other demographics in April, according to a report.

While the overall unemployment rate for April 2025 remained unchanged, stats released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic show that Black women lost 38,000 jobs and their unemployment went up by 106,000, according to Creative Investment Research. Bloomberg notes the unemployment rate for Black women was a full percentage point higher at 6.1% (compared to 5.1% in March), and this rate has been on the rise since February 2024.
