As unemployment continues to rise among Black workers, particularly Black women, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Massachusetts) is urging Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to address troubling new jobs data showing a disproportionate spike in Black unemployment.
In a letter sent Monday, Sept. 8, 2025, Pressley called on the Fed to uphold its mandate to maximize employment and requested detailed data on the impact Black women’s employment, or lack thereof, has on the labor market.
Comment:
Calls to action have been raised for some time. Does this mean that the Fed is late?
Just a thought.
