From advanced-degree holders to high-school dropouts, Black workers have substantially higher unemployment rates at every level of educational attainment than white workers—and the disparity has widened this year during the economic downturn caused byThe expanding gap signals Black Americans can expect to have a longer and slower recovery from the 2020 economic recession, regardless of whether they have attended college or not completed high school.
Black workers with just a bachelor’s degree had a 6.1% average unemployment rate in the 12 months ended in October, according to the Labor Department. That was higher than the 4.8% unemployment rate for white workers with just a bachelor’s degree, and exactly matched the jobless rate for white people with associate degrees.
The disparity widens for those with less education. Black workers with only a high-school diploma had a 12.1% average unemployment rate over the past year, above the 7.4% rate for similar white workers, and above the 10.1% rate for white high-school dropouts. Black workers also have a higher unemployment rate at each level of educational attainment than Latino workers, but the disparity is less pronounced.
I would like to know how unemployment compares between black people who have conservative vs liberal values. Do they recognize value of work or show up late and sometimes don't show up at all.
okay? and?
How many of them were working *while* earning said degree? Working in their field, even part time while attending classes? Are jobs in their field of study available in the community they attend school in/live in with a real support system. Many influences impact opportunity.
Race baiting propaganda that now WSJ is part of. Notice how many times they retweet these ‘blacks are victims’ stories versus others.
A hyphenless we are all Americans MAGA economy once again proves to be the best. Natural Equality with up is way better than socialism with its Caste like leveling.
Are you sure you can't present this information in a more divisive way Your EMPLOYED report for advanced, bachelor, and associate degrees: Blacks: 95.6%; 93.9%; 91.5% Hispanics: 95.8%; 93.3%; 91.8% Whites: 96.7%; 95.2%; 93.9% Isn't 5% unemployment considered full employment?
An expert testifying to the Pennsylvania Senate flagged a batch of ballots that recorded 570,000 votes for Biden and only 3,200 for Trump. Yes, you read that correctly. That would equate to Biden bagging 99.4% of that enormous chunk of votes and has flipped the state to Biden.
It depends if they want to work.
More good news please(((
Systemic racism in the United States is a myth. So are the platypus and narwhals. And the moon landing. Also, Kansas. Never seen it, so it can't be real.
Unfair quotas in Universities can't help much in getting jobs in real life.
Sorry, but this is awful. Your choice of words, that is. 'Just' a bachelor degree. 'Only' an assosiate degree. Those are major accomplishments! Some can't afford to go to school, others (me) have handicaps that stop them. The racial profiling in combination makes it unreadable.
Or we just take race off job applications. They can fill it in after they get hired for statistics.
Or be like Asians....
EDUCATION is NOT enough! Just like Trump pulled out over $1T out of nowhere with McConnell's and the Republicans approval. Pay the DESCENDANTS of AFRICAN SLAVERY REPARATIONS&RESTITUTION for the CENTURIES of SYSTEMIC RACISM,JIM CROW,MASS INCARCERATION,DESTRUCTION OF BLACK WALL ST.
⬇️ Look at all the fragile, triggered, racist snowflakes commenting on this post with nothing but anecdotal evidence, aka the mediocre white people who have been stealing jobs from BIPOC for decades. StopTheStupid
Give black america what is owed to us! Paying for education ain't ish! Education needs to be free for all AMERICANS any ways. AFRICAN DESCENDANTS OF SLAVERY are due trillions of dollars, land, sovereignty,...now! That will give us the ability to be free and independent.
We have to be smarter and work harder.
Facts! I have experienced that. Also gotta work 100 times harder.
This is not true at all. Why are you now the national enquire. Enough of this bull💩
Black Americans have always known this. Such disparities are historical Convincing White America that those disparities exist, and ought to be addressed, would be a challenge
What about all the jobs BLM-pandering corporations promised black people? Hell, every black person in America should have a job in Hollywood at this point with all the promises they made. I guess it was all just more BS from leftist/ elitist...who could have seen that coming?
The DOJ&FBI need to open every single case regarding race that has been closed/dismissed by FEDERAL AGENCIES like the DOJ-FBI, EEOC, DOL, HUD, OSHA,...&conduct thorough investigations. Black people do NOT have equal nor fair REPRESENTATION in these agencies,working at the PDs,...
White america, Britain,...created the system of 'qualifications','minimum requirements',...as a means to stay ahead of everyone else. Wake up people!Education is a hoax!Education needs to be overhauled into FEDERALLY FUNDED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS for all occupations&professions.
Black Americans will NEVER be able to catch up to white people using 'education', 'qualifications',...as the determining means to who gets an opportunity, higher pay,...or NOT. White people deliberately under educated black people and continue to. Create good paying jobs for ALL!
A bachelors degree from even the same university is not the same. Corporations have salivated over black candidates for 30 plus years. Keep crying ‘victim’ and eventually nobody will show up.
Not just blacks!
When one advocates for AA into universities, why would this not be the expected outcome?
Quite the opposite actually, but we are used to media telling us world is different, than what we live through ourselves each day...
That is not even true at the WSJ.
I would say it’s way waaaay more difficult for Hispanics than blacks
Not to justify this but hasn't it always been this way with minorities having to be better than others to get ahead.
Under Biden it will only get worse.
And the Indian CEOs of Microsoft,Google, IBM, Mastercard and 70 percent of silicone valley are proof that if you're good enough you will be rewarded for your talents regardless of colour
You can blame the Democrats for this one they were the ones that shut down all the small businesses. The Democrats shut downs hurt Black people
This might be among the dumbest things I've seen posted by a 'reputable' news source. Were it true, and I was a business owner, I would hire only African Americans. I could get workers with more education for the same money as whites or other races.
This is BS. Fortune 500 companies have been actively recruiting black candidates to fill positions passing on white candidates that are more qualified. It is the privatization of affirmative action policies that have been in place at colleges for 50+ years.
Dr Thomas Sowell ... Race, IQ - opportunity, inequality
anti-Marxismlist! On my opinion, the human society is running on these: 1 technology define theoretical economic aggregate 2 labour define gross economy 3 finance system define distribution of wealth from gross economy
Hi, please check out my gig if you need any kind of graphic design
And even with more credentials Black Americans struggle.
I call bullshit!
Well I mean they won't hire anyone to become an engineer, programmer, lawyer, or doctor... You kind of need advanced qualifications and race has nothing to do with it. In fact I would say being black and having one of these increases yours odds of being hired.
More big media liberal divisiveness. StopTheSteaI
this is terrible news
