The Disparity Study
The New Jersey Disparity Study results, released January 2024, revealed that Black-owned businesses received 1% or less of state contracts in all industries between fiscal years 2015-2020. For construction, Black-owned businesses received approximately $3.3 million compared to White-male-owned businesses $10.8 billion. Further, Black-owned businesses received $13.7 million for professional services, compared to White-male-owned businesses $3.4 billion.
In response, AACCNJ formed the Disparity Study Task Force Committee to identify real solutions for the Murphy Administration to put in place to address the inequalities in business opportunity and prosperity in the state of New Jersey. Welcome to AACCNJ's Grassroots Apolitical Strategy! The only side we are taking is that of Black business equity for the overall betterment of our community.
