According to economists, what is the primary reason that Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Indigenous Americans experience higher rates of unemployment than other workers in the United States?

Economists point to systemic racism as the primary reason these groups experience higher unemployment rates.

Automation and regional differences can affect employment, but they do not explain the persistent group-wide disparities as well.
