The U.S. economy added more jobs than expected in May, but the benefits were not evenly distributed. New labor market data shows Black workers continue to experience higher unemployment rates than white workers, while economists point to declining labor force participation and rising long-term unemployment as ongoing concerns. The report highlights persistent disparities that have remained in place for decades. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
