...even larger share of the war's burden is, thus, about to be shifted onto Negroes. The ghetto will be directly hit by the curtailing of federal programs, but the unemployment resulting from a slowdown of the economy may have an even greater impact. Negroes have always been the first to be laid off as firms react to a decelerating economy, and it is probable that the number laid off will peak sometime during the summer.
