Argument Grows for Black Economy as Shield from Layoffs
Original: How Participating in the Black Economy Would Protect Black Women from Mass Layoffs
A commentary argues that Black women, who have been hit disproportionately by recent mass layoffs, could protect themselves by participating more fully in the Black economy — spending and building within Black-owned businesses and networks. The piece frames economic self-reliance as a buffer against job losses in the broader labour market, and the idea is drawing attention in discussions about race, employment and economic resilience.
Why now: Ongoing mass layoffs have renewed debate about how Black women can protect their financial stability.
