About this listen
In April 2025, 106,000 Black women lost their jobs—while 48,000 Black men were hired. Even more alarming? According to Bloomberg, Black women in the federal workforce have declined by 33% over the last year, compared to just a 3.7% drop across the overall labor market.
What’s really going on?
In this episode of the Grow Your Money Podcast, Constance Carter dives into the data, the disparities, and the deeper implications of this economic shift. From DEI rollbacks to systemic cutbacks in government hiring, Black women are being pushed out of spaces they helped build.
But there’s opportunity in the chaos.
Constance breaks down:
• Why Black men are gaining jobs in industries like healthcare, transportation, and finance
• The disappearing safety net of federal jobs for Black women
• How to protect yourself from economic uncertainty
• Why now is the time to create your own economy through business, investing, and skill monetization
Don’t wait for a seat at their table—build your own.
