"Among blacks who earn professional degrees, the impact on their chances of finding a job is nearly one-and-a-half times greater than it is for whites who earn the same degrees. In addition, African-Americans who have bachelor’s degrees earn $10,000 more a year than those who don’t have a bachelor’s, compared to white men, who earn just $6,100 more than they would if they didn’t have a bachelor’s. The value of a graduate degree is even greater for African-American men. Those who have advanced degrees make $21,000 more per year than grads with bachelor’s degrees while white men with advanced degrees make just $15,100 more, according to BLS and Census data and analysis by a group at the College Board."
And your cited source failed to use simple common sense as to why a white high school graduate might be more attractive to a hiring manager than a black college graduate for some jobs! If it's not a good job then a college graduate might take it for the short term but will give it up as soon as a better one becomes available...a high school drop out may not have the option to take another job simply because they don't have the required degrees.
More excuses.
Ah, that's the article that Catcher supplied...I simply pointed out that it proved the point I was making!
