Today's report on job losses hides something: Workers of color bore the brunt of this loss.
By race ethnicity, these are the changes in employment between Nov. and Dec. 2020:
White: +38k
Asian: -40k
Black: -26k
Latina/o: -252k
To clarify, $1200 checks are ONLY going to some w/social sec numbers, NOT immigrants w/ tax IDs (ITINs).
Thanks to GOP, these checks will be cut off the backs of *taxpaying immigrants,* who get nothing. Many are essential workers who pay more taxes than Amazon.
