Income Inequality

I choose a young black male with some college degree.  He earns on an average $21,577 per year.  A young black female with some college earns on average $19,575 per year which is about $2,000 less than the male.  And a young whit male with the same education earns on average $22,842 which is more than both the black male and female with the same education

Next I choose an old Hispanic female with an advanced degree and she earns on average $70,257 per year.  But compared to an old Hispanic male who earns $82,911 with the same education which is quite a lot more.  And an old white female with the same education earns on avg. $73,624 which is more than the Hispanic female but less than the Hispanic male.

I found that the male in the situation always earned more than the female no matter the race.  And the white female or male on average earned more than a male or female of a different race.  I believe that society sees the white male as the superior worker in the work force. And a female who is of a different race is less respected in the work force.

One of the solutions was to make sure that every person who wanted a job got one because the demand is so high but we aren't able to keep up with it

2/5/15 Portland Black History: Entrepreneurship

A Black entrepreneur W.D. Allen launched the Golden West Hotel in 1906. The Golden West was designed to serve the Black railway porters, cooks, barbers and waiters recruited by the major railroads. It provided "all the conveniences of home" for Black workers denied accommodation in Portland's white owned hotels, and was a center of African American social life until the hotel's closure in 1931.
