For those with just high-school diplomas, the gap was 4.7 percentage points.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Both gaps have widened since the middle of last year. In June 2019, the 12-month average unemployment rate for whites with at least a bachelor’s was 0.7 percentage point lower than that for similar Black grads, matching the narrowest gap since 2002. That, in part, reflects that Black workers disproportionately held jobs that were lost this year, including in the transportation, hospitality and retail sectors.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The expanding gap signals Black Americans can expect to have a longer and slower recovery from the 2020 economic recession, regardless of whether they have attended college or not completed high school.
