Please, please, please read the entire article. Despite the leading paragraph the study indicates, ...even though unemployment is higher among African Americans at every level of education, the added gains in income and employment opportunities gained from getting an additional degree is much greater for African Americans than whites. For example, a professional degree gives a black male a 146 percent larger increase in employment opportunities than his white counterparts. A bachelor’s degree raises the median wage of a black man by $10,000 per year, compared to a raise of $6,100 per year for a white man. Additionally, Census Bureau data shows that black students are twice as likely to drop out of high school as their white counterparts, and less likely to obtain a college degree. Bottom Line: We need to keep our asses in school, obtain multiple degrees and model academic attainment to the youth in our families and communities. #E1T1 #AdmiredMan #DrCLHSr
