Tuesday was, for many, a day to take a beat. Social media feeds filled up with blank black boxes. Cities tightened curfews. Americans grappled with their grief and anger while Wall Street carried on seemingly none the wiser. Stick with us, though: this rundown of the day's essential business news has a nugget of happiness tucked in near the end.
#BLACKOUTTUESDAYIn this painful moment in history, we're seeing companies that might have previously been silent on Black Lives Matter suddenly, unequivocally, rallying around the cause of racial justice. But hashtags and donations are not enough to address the systemic inequalities within their own industries. True diversity has to be reflected at the top. And right now, there are only four black CEOs who run Fortune 500 companies in America.
AS PROMISED, SOME GOOD NEWSLet's #ThrowbackTuesday to around this time in 2015, when the mood in the US was it bit more joyful because the US Supreme Court voted to allow gay marriage across this great land. That was a good day, remember?Five years later, we've got a read on just how good that decision was for state and local economies in the US. A new study estimates that the gay wedding industry boosted economies by $3.8 billion and supported at least 45,000 jobs.
