Back then minority workers suffered huge job losses, and now because of COVID 19 people of color today are experiencing higher rates of unemployment. A Pew Study reports that 49 percent—nearly half of all Latinos say someone in their household has taken a pay cut or lost a job. A Morning Consult poll this week found that 15 percent of all African American households include at least one person who has lost work. And small business owners of color are still struggling to get their fair share of the recently approved federal financial aid. How can communities of color survive during this economic crisis?
