Black women make up 25% of dept of education staff, despite being 6% of population

This article in the NYT is ridiculous: complaining that federal job cuts are “racist”…
But the subject stat mentioned in the article appears to be legit.
That’s remarkable. It is basically a version of another remarkable stat: *60%* of black women with a college degree work for the govt (either local, state, federal).
I really hope this isn’t a case of the govt artificially creating a black middle class through featherbedded make-work schemes via govt jobs. Black income levels since the 1920s have risen dramatically. Would be very disappointing if it was all a Potemkin village

The most educated group.
fwiw, one of the best teachers I ever had was a black lady.
She was murdered a few years after I graduated. RIP Mrs Brown.

Black women in education.
My son had a speech therapist in 2nd/3rd grade. Black woman took over second half of 3rd grade.
We yanked him... she had NO business in that position. It was atrocious.

Holy crap, this is insane:
We were using the fed govt as a jobs program. Unacceptable

The most recent labor statistics show that nationwide, Black women lost 319,000 jobs in the public and private sectors between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period, according to an analysis by Katica Roy, a gender economist.
Experts attribute those job losses, in large part, to Mr. Trump’s cuts to federal agencies where Black women are highly concentrated.
White women saw a job increase of 142,000, and Hispanic women of 176,000, over the same time period.

Prince George's County, Maryland is gonna become more Democratic next year....a lot of BW live there and work for the gov't...
DNC will probably nominate a BW in 2028, because they are part of the DNC's strongest voter base.

It's probably the easiest degree out there.

Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
