Better Data Needed to Dismantle The 'Model Minority' Myth About Asian Americans: Race, Jobs And The Economy April 2024 Update

By Joseph Dean and Manan Shah

The BLS reports that the economy added 175,000 jobs in April, well below the average of 242,000 over the last 12 months. This is accompanied by a slight increase in the unemployment rate to 3.9 percent, which the BLS notes has stayed between 3.7 percent and 3.9 percent since August 2023.

Jesse Van Tol’s Keynote Speech At The 2024 Just Economy Conference

"Capital One is a bad actor. “Notorious” might be a better word. Because anyone who’s been paying attention to how Capital One moves for the past couple decades knows this is not a company that our communities can rely on. We saw that when Capital One bought ING Direct, a decade ago. It made a $180 billion ten-year commitment to communities, that wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on. ...The one part of the commitment that was good – a commitment to mortgage lending – turned out to be false promise, as Capital One abandoned the mortgage business just a few years later."
