Question: Second, reparations can provide significant economic benefits. A study by Duke University estimated that reparations could inject up to $10 trillion (about $31,000 per person in the US) (about $31,000 per person in the US) (about $31,000 per person in the US) into the US economy over 10 years, boosting wages and creating jobs. This economic stimulus could benefit not only Black Americans, but also the entire country, providing a much-needed boost after years of economic inequality and racial injustice. [review rule on using commas to connect independent clauses with a conjunction; is a comma needed]
You are correct that a comma is needed before the conjunction "boosting." This is because "boosting wages and creating jobs" is an independent clause and needs to be separated from the previous clause. The sentence should read: "A study by Duke University estimated that reparations could inject up to $10 trillion (about $31,000 per person in the US) into the US economy over 10 years, boosting wages and creating jobs. This economic stimulus could benefit not only Black Americans but also the entire country, providing a much-needed boost after years of economic inequality and racial injustice."
