The late Bill Spriggs, professor of economics at Howard University who dedicated his career to advancing racial justice, shared his concerns and priorities for supporting Black workers in the face of a plausible recession. He emphasized that there are fewer good jobs with great benefits than in the past, and in a shifting economy, employers must be responsible for retraining and retaining workers.
