Powerful conversation at the @WashingtonEcon1 Summer Conference. The theme of Sprinting Towards a More Equitable Future was the perfect theme for a Juneteenth conversation.
Happy to get to see so many ESD team members and workforce development colleagues.
Juneteenth, also known as #EmancipationDay, commemorates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the U.S.
Although enslaved persons were promised freedom under the proclamation signed in 1862, not all enslaved persons were free until June 19, 1865.
Washington’s economy added an estimated 5,300 jobs (seasonally adjusted) and the monthly unemployment rate rose to 4.8% in March. Read more about our Monthly Employment Report.
