In this brief, The Dual Crisis: How the COVID-19 Recession Deepens Racial and Economic Inequality Among Communities of Color, we analyze Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data from April through September 2020. We uncovered the stark disproportionate impact the of the COVID-19 recession on key communities including Black, Latinx, and Asian workers, women workers, youth aged 16-24, workers earning low wages, part-time/self-employed workers, public sector workers, and more. The brief also includes an analysis of rising household and food insecurity and the concerning trends in job gains and losses in the economy.

| In the final installment of our 2020 Youth Data Portrait, we show how Black and Brown youth are not safe in their communities due to racist systems of oppression and divestment in the health and wellbeing of young people of color. |
