The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The article states that 'the period featured a remarkable level of government financial support and, after the initial shock of the pandemic, a surprisingly strong job market.' This is deceptive because it implies that government support was sufficient to close the wealth gap when in fact there are many other factors such as systemic racism in hiring, education, housing etc. that contribute to wealth disparities.
  • The article states that 'the real net worth of white individuals outgrew that of Black and Hispanic individuals by 30 percentage points and 9 percentage points respectively from the first quarter of 2019 through the second quarter of 2023.' This is deceptive because it implies that wealth inequality only exists between races, when in fact there are many other factors such as class, education level, etc. that contribute to wealth disparities.

The Pandemic Widened The Wealth Gap Between White And Black Americans, Despite Government Support And A Strong Job Market.

Broke On: Sunday, 11 February 2024 The wealth gap between white and Black Americans has widened during the pandemic, despite government financial support and a strong job market. White individuals saw an increase in real net worth by 30 percentage points compared to Black households' growth of only 9 percentage points. This disparity is not solely due to differences in stock ownership; it also stems from the fact that more than half of Black financial wealth is invested in pensions rather than stocks and mutual funds. Additionally, during the pandemic, the real value of Black-held financial assets dropped below their 2019 level while Hispanic-held assets remained relatively stable.
