The blacks lost their jobs because when the war was over, the soliers went back to their jobs (probably white)

Explanation:

There was segregation at that time and the blacks filled in the jobs while the whites were at war. When the whites returned, the whites were main priority to be back at work and the blacks were just "fill ins" or "substitutors".
