Black women have been among the groups most impacted by federal workforce reductions under President Trump, according to Erica L. Green. The article delves into why this demographic is experiencing higher job losses compared to other groups. Green highlights systemic issues such’the lack of representation in leadership roles and the disproportionate impact of budget cuts on sectors predominantly staffed by Black women.
Analysts suggest that the federal workforce cuts are exacerbating existing economic disparities. These cuts are particularly damaging to industries where Black women are overrepresented, such as education and public services. The potential long-term effects on the economy include reduced consumer spending and a larger workforce gap that could hinder overall economic growth.
