Texas Joblessness Persists Above U.S. Rate, Weighing on Black, Hispanic Workers

Anil Kumar

Southwest Economy, 2021, issue Fourth Quarter

Abstract: Texas lost proportionately fewer jobs than the nation during the pandemic, yet the unemployment rate rose above the national rate—a gap that has persisted. Women and minorities were affected disproportionately at the outset. While the gender unemployment gap has largely dissipated, the gaps between white workers and both Black and Hispanic workers have persisted above pre-COVID-19 levels.
