In what I call the "color of Covid," the pandemic has highlighted a range of underlying inequalities on race -- including on the job front -- now exacerbated by the health crisis and the emerging stay-at-home economy. Just as Spencer Overton, president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, has rightly demanded that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "end its silence on the racial impact of Covid-19" in terms of health and morbidity, so too must we all reconcile -- and address -- the fact that the black and Latinx communities and workers are bearing the brunt of the pandemic.
