How has the relationship between the Black and African American unemployment rate and the White unemployment rate changed since the GFC?<\/p>\n<p>Summary:<\/p>\n<p>1. All the series move together as economic activity cycles. The data also moves around a lot on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<p>2. The Black and African American unemployment rate was 6.8 per cent in March 2020, rose to 16.7 per cent in May and is at 8.2 per cent in July 2021. In the last month, it fell by 1 point.<\/p>\n<p>3. The Hispanic or Latino unemployment rate was 6 per cent in March 2020, rose to 18.9 per cent in April and is at 6.6 per cent in July 2021. In the last month, it fell by 0.8 points.<\/p>\n<p>4. The White unemployment rate was 3.9 per cent in March 2020, rose to 14.1 per cent in April and fell to 4.8 per cent in July 2021. In the last month, it fell by 0.4 points.<\/p>\n<p>The next graph shows the Black and African American unemployment rate to White unemployment rate (ratio) from January 2018, when the White unemployment rate was at 3.5 per cent and the Black or African American rate was at 7.5 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>This graph allows us to see whether the relative position of the two cohorts has changed since the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>If it is rising, then the unemployment rate of the Black and African American cohort is either rising faster than the white unemployment rate or falling more slowly (or a combination of that relativity).<\/p>\n<p>While there is month-to-month variability, the data shows that, in fact, through to mid-2019, the position of Black and African Americans had improved in relative terms (to Whites), although that just reflected the fact that the White unemployment was so low that employers were forced to take on other &#8216;less preferred&#8217; workers if they wanted to maintain growth.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2019, the ratio was 2.1 (meaning the Black and African American unemployment rate was more than 2 times the White rate).<\/p>\n<p>By April 2020, the ratio had fallen to its lowest level of 1.2, reflecting the improved relative Black and African American position.<\/p>\n<p>As the pandemic hit, the ratio rose and peaked at 1.8 in October 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In July 2021, the ratio was 1.71 &#8211;
