1. no surprise as the service industry is getting hit the hardest and employ the least skillful people

typically.

2. Interesting racial dynamic though

Asian/White/Hispanic increases roughly in step with each other to 5-6% above the prior ("great recession&quot peak... but Black unemployment climbs "only" back up to that peak.

3. Interesting...

causes me to ponder the electoral implications in the fall. After all, white folks are the Republican party and it's just natural to scapegoat the people in charge.

4. Uh,there are plenty of white Democrats.

5. also interesting. gap between white unemployment and group with highest unemp shrinks from 8% to 4%

6. That'll probably change.

On the other hand, one thing that they included were undocumented workers, which may account for the Hispanic data point being so high.

7. Would be interesting to see the unemployment by professions.

I am still getting job offers. I work in IT.

8. IT is everything right now.... the key to employees working home with Zoom, online education

online shopping. ordering food. streaming tv
