Abstract
Statistical analysis often reveals that racial identity is a measurable, significant, and persistent predictor of economic outcomes. Persistent racial disparities in unemployment and wages are defining features of the U.S. labor market and as such, provide some of the most compelling evidence of structural racism in this country. In her 2023 NEA Presidential Address, Wilson discusses decades of data and research in support of this conclusion and identifies some of the institutions that play an important role in facilitating racial economic justice.
