Black Women Breaking Historical Records in Unemployment Data
The sistas are in crisis and things are unfolding fast. We real brothas and the community knows our sistas like to lie to themselves, deny, and withdraw from the situation. Those cognitive dissonance actions do not work; it only makes things worse. Sistas will wait until she in the ICU or the day of the eviction process before recognizing the world of crap she is in.
What many sistas do is think she can just call a man to help her out. Yes, the same sistas who sat around saying she don’t need a man, dissing all the good brothas, trying to show off she got a bad boy wrapped around her finger. But when things got real, she realizes all that goofy anti-man overtures she was doing has consequences.
The latest jobs report came out in June stating in May of 2025, Black women unemployment overall went from 5.1% to 6.1% while every other group stabilize with little increase or decrease. Black men decreased from 6.1% to 5.7% but this is showing improvement.
But the biggest shock was Black women 20 to 24 years old, their unemployment rate increased from 6% to 9.3%, a stunning increase. To compare, Latina women 20 to 24 unemployment decreased from 5.4% to 3.8%, a stunning decrease in unemployment.
There is a lot to unpack here but this is a crisis that is compounding since the beginning of the year for the sistas. Let’s cover what is behind the numbers and where is all of this headed.
Which Sistas are Being Impacted
The 20-24 age group is what concerns us the most. These are most likely service industry workers, or recent college graduates with a first job. These are the sistas working in restaurants, call centers, or just got a job in corporate.
What is concerning is unlike the older Black women, these young sistas have not setup her financial stability and was living paycheck-to-paycheck. Based on the Latina women big decrease in unemployment and the increase of Black women unemployment for the same age group, we can deduce that sistas are losing jobs to Latina women.
First the sistas lost her man to the Latinas in Dominican Republic and Colombia, now she losing her jobs to the Latinas who are moving up as a group.
The Democrats are Behind This, Sista.
Here is the funny part – the Democrats planned all along to screw the sistas over as soon as they got their vote for Kamala Harris. But the sistas were stubborn and sheepish to the Democrats voting for Kamala when she herself didn’t care about sistas and used that AKA affinity to pander to Black women voters.
The Republicans did not have a framework that propped the sistas up, the liberals and Democrats had. The increase in Black women unemployment are reflecting actions by the Democrats. This was always the plan is where they prop sistas up with DEI and preferential treatment, then toss the sistas and replace her with other groups.
What made us brothas mad and many brothas gave up on sistas is we was telling the sistas over and over this is what the Democrats was going to do to them. They were playing yall sistas, no one gives you anything for free. You sistas knew Kamala and the Democrats were BSing on the reparations issue, bringing in illegal immigrants, and you sistas still went out there and voted for these Democrats.
Sistas Destroyed Her Own House
The sistas are the only women on this planet and history that thought it was okay to talk mess on her Black men, try to act like she better than her Black man, she can do it all without her Black man – no other group of women on this planet, in human history did this kind of nonsense.
Then you see on reality TV and social media, videos of sistas with a lot of attitudes, big mouth, wanting to fight, bringing negative energy and that image stuck on people minds about Black women. That’s the image you sistas marketed and none of these sistas stood up and said that’s not us.
You sistas put yourself in a vulnerable position and we Black men knew all about this strategy and tactic. Once they can paint you as a “monster”, then you will be dealt with as a monster. Because right now, no one cares if they fire the DEI Black woman at the job chasing Brad talking about she swirling.
The White women, Asian women, Latina women, Indian women love and respect some Black men, especially at the job putting down business. Be bringing us Black men their chicken biryani leftovers they cooked yesterday making us an extra plate for lunch at work. You sistas be acting too stank to bring us brothas some leftover neckbones, pinto beans, greens, cornbread, and some of that peach cobbler.
That’s why they will all agree to let the sistas go first at the workplace and won’t lose any sleep over it.
Sistas Arrogance from Fake Winning
What I noticed is sistas be in high at-risk job roles that have no runway and just a position. Sistas think $300K a year salary means something and she better than the brothas making $175/year. But what sistas fail to realize is that job isn’t going to last long and will be a cost-cutting measure for the company. So the brotha is there 10 years making $175K year while the sistas just lasted 3-4 years top and that’s being generous.
Many of you sistas are not based in whatever job or position you smirking you are working in. I know some brothas nowadays who dislike sistas so bad, they started SaaS companies hoping to replace job roles that sistas are working in. Using AI, automation, outsourced labor – a lot of brothas in my league and my circle doing this stuff with their foreign wife to knock the sistas out so the brotha and his Korean wife can buy commercial investment properties in Dubai.
You sistas need to find real jobs out here. Real tech jobs like a database programmer or modeler or CI/CD engineer. Or learn machinery like Blacks did 80 years ago moving from the South to up North. Have real skills. This is why I think this fall we are going to push harder for Black college students to pursue side-hustle college clubs like DJing instead of joining the Divine Nine that supported Kamala Harris in the last election.
Real Sistas Better Get Plan Going
While we are seeing an unemployment crisis among the sistas, there is a precedent and that is the youth unemployment crisis in China, especially among young Chinese women who were also acting stank towards her Chinese men. She was acting like she had options, dissing good Chinese men, but the economy crashed in China and she in the same boat.
They already created innovative solutions in China as a result that I hope sistas can learn from.
Job Hunting Hotels. In Shanghai, they have a hotel specifically for job hunters to visit and look for a job in the new city. The hotel act as a recruiter that get listings, and the hotel residents are there applying for the job, dressing and rehearsing for the interview. They are from out of town and networking with each other.
Fake Office Space. They are creating a “fake office” which is really an abandoned corporate floor where unemployed youths can show up and pretending, they are working, kinda like a Black-orientated co-working space, lol, let me be serious. This help with bonding and creating a space to not lose professionalism. Could be a place to learn new skills.
Back to School. Go to a small-town university, get student loans and get a better solid degree and skills to re-enter the market. Or take a technology course, get certified and pursue that path. You are going to have to pursue real skills instead of that nonsense degree – and guess what, you might actually be in the same classroom as that smart brotha that you can build up with.
Social Media. It matters now how you operate on social media. Create social media that tries to uplift and encourage. Do not create content on the Passport Bros showing contempt for Black men; most of the White male hiring managers are Passport Bros and doing mail order brides, sista.
Co-op Daycare. What I’m finding is women are stating they cannot find/keep a job because they cannot afford daycare. So they have to stay at home and cannot even afford to keep the kid for after school care. Creating a co-op daycare is one way to lower the cost and allow sistas to contribute by running a licensed daycare and possibly if she smart, get the skills to open up her own daycare.
There are options for sistas but one thing I have to stress – I cannot save a sista that waited until it was too late. She is not going to have an entrepreneur lane to get out of the hole she got herself into. She going to need to patch up the potholes she made along the way.
The sistas going to need to get right with her Black men, the good Black men. All that BS chasing garbage brothas to spite good brothas, that was stupid as hell sista. Better learn to open your damn mouth when you see a brotha and appreciate him opening the door for you. Because that brotha could have been the one you can depend on when things go bad.
This situation is as bad as it ever got for sistas in my lifetime. Denial and running is not a solution. The sistas better start looking inward and realize this current nonsense she is on is not working and damage is being inflicted. It’s time to change up sista and you better get on it now.
