There are a lot of "clerk" type jobs in government where people with shitty degrees find a home.
Not an empirical study, but I personally know pretty much every employee in my local courthouse. I grew up with most of them. Not many of those clerks have a degree.

A group which has been getting recruited due to being in a minority double-dip (black women) aren’t getting hired in the private sector?
That says a lot.

That's part of what I was trying to get at. "The government" is a pretty broad term.
A public, tax-payer funded job.

There can't be many federal jobs requiring a college degree right?

True

It doesn’t matter.
This is about black women who have degrees and a disproportionately high number employed by tax payers.
Having a degree doesn’t mean you won’t take a job that doesn’t require one.

Well, notice that I never said there were no good black female employees in government.
What I said is that the governmental preferential hiring of black women has been in place for my entire adult life and probably longer.
EDIT: I also did make a comment about "one of them" standing between you and what you need from a government agency, but in that context we were specifically discussing unqualified employees who got a degree from a diploma mill.

Sorry. Not implied. Just passing along my experience. I just know the dogpiling is strong on the political board but dared to mention that anyone is going to have a real shite time when dealing with government workers if they dismiss every black women they come across as a useless idiot.

As a higher ed administrator, I have two issues that greater society needs to look at.
1. State institutions are chartered for the citizens of the state. That doesn't mean others shouldn't be able to attend, but a school like Purdue is a public institution supported by the taxpayers of Indiana. 35% of their students are international and really good students from the state can't get admission.
2. Most (and I mean >95%) of HBCUs are worthless. They are diploma mills for government workers. Graduation rates at these schools are abysmal and the quality of education is awful. A graduate degree from these schools should be 100% completely ignored by potential employers.
Here's a list of the top schools for Social Mobility. These are schools that take Pell Grant recipients (poor) and move them to the middle class of taxpayers. HBCUs should dominate this list if they were doing their job. Howard is #12 and FAMU is #20. The rest are a mix of state universities in larger cities (Georgia State, Fresno State) and privates that have this as part of their mission (Princeton)
