U.S. Black Chambers CEO Ron Busby in a letter to the mayor last week said the proposed one-year restriction on new black and livery cars will put up a roadblock to job opportunities for black New Yorkers in the outerboroughs.
“This would be the first time that city government would adopt a policy that would directly kill thousands of jobs for New Yorkers, especially in the communities for which you advocated,” wrote Busby, whose group represents 240,000 black-owned businesses.
City transportation officials point to a 63% surge of new for-hire cars since 2011, with 25,000 vehicles hitting the road in the past four years.
Busby has a point, I wonder what his view is on the minimum wage, which is a major killer of job opportunities for black youth.
