On this week’s episode of Brown Ambition, Mandi dives into the latest jobs report and how the government issued ANOTHER correction that shows we actually added 911,000 FEWER jobs than they calculated last year. That's half as many jobs as they reported. WTF?
She also digs into what the data really says about the state of the economy, especially for Black women. With over 300,000 Black women pushed out of the workforce this year, she breaks down why the numbers don’t always tell the full story and how systemic bias shows up in hiring trends. But it’s not all doom and gloom she highlights industries where jobs are still growing, from healthcare to IT, and offers perspective on pursuing career moves that align with your skills and passion rather than just chasing trends.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How to identify your personal “power hours” and use them for your most important goals
  • The reality behind the labor market and why Black women are being hit hardest
  • Sectors where job opportunities are growing despite the downturn
  • How to balance pursuing in-demand fields with staying true to your own career path
  • Practical ways to use AI to boost your job search and career strategy
  • Why protecting your mental health is just as important as networking and applying
