I would like to read the source for that claim. Also does he mean the federal government or just any government job? Do teachers in public school count? Do nurses at county hospitals count?

I'd like to see the actual data being cited here.
Me too, percentage seems low.

I think a good 15 to 20% of them work at the VA Hospital in Alexandria, La!

If you read through the X post, the math is discussed along with federal vs state vs local.
It’s a lengthy conversation.

I would guess the number is lower
20-40% seems more accurate.

Walk into any government office, State level and above and take mental notes of what you see.
State and Federal jobs are a work program.

I worked here as a Passport Specialist for a year and a half until I couldn’t take it anymore. Yes, many stories about people who should be working at Burger King at best handling people’s personal information.

Can someone tell me what % of federal workers are registered democrats. Id guess around the same number posted ~65% but Im not sure if they even report it.

Keep in mind - it’s NOT 65% of government workers are black female.
It’s 65% of black females with degrees work for government.

Beyond that the odds are overwhelming that taking the job working for a black woman will be a massive mistake
My gut tells me you're correct but the only anecdotal life experience I have was with a very good woman. She was under qualified and it often showed, but she wasnt the boss bitch that you have in mind and I knew how to work for her.

Another 20% work for organizations that get greater than 50% of their revenue from the government.

They like government work because there is no rush. Black women aren usually chill until you try and rush them.

Independent black wahmen working for their Sugar Daddy. Explains why you get such bad service from Government ran entities. (Post Office, DMV, Metermaids...)

I’m not doubting this to be true, but linking a study would definitely set it in stone.

"I see some in here attempting the math.
Whether it’s 65% or 50% or even 25%- the fact that ONE specific group of degree holders find their way into GOVERNMENT work deserves attention and some explanation."
I get what you are saying, but my thinking is that a good portion of that is education positions at the local level or states are hiring college "educated" black women to compensate for whatever reason.
I do know that most HBCU's, as do smaller traditional liberal arts schools, have large graduation rates of people majoring in education. It's a running joke that if you drive pass a local HBCU with your window rolled down that a diploma will get tossed into your car.

Every VA facility I've been in had a ton of them.
