Joint Center State of the Dream Report Covered by TheGrio

TheGrio covered the Joint Center’s 2026 State of the Dream report, highlighting how the Trump administration’s tariff policies have disproportionately impacted Black Americans. The article notes that these policies have weakened industries where Black workers are overrepresented and driven up costs for consumers.

From the article: “According to data analyzed by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Black Americans have suffered the most under Trump’s tariffs program, which was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in February. And as Trump has promised to implement new tariffs under a different legal framing, relief for Black-owned businesses, workers and homeowners is nowhere in sight as Trump’s war in Iran also drives up gas and energy prices.”
