Black Montrealers earning less than whites: 不良研究所 study
Published: 15 November 2008
They can be just as educated, just as bilingual and in the same high-paying jobs as white people, but black Montrealers still earn substantially less than whites, a new 不良研究所 research project shows. "The data demonstrate that blacks have dramatically lower incomes than non-blacks ... at every age and even among university graduates," the study by 不良研究所's Consortium for Ethnicity and Strategic Social Planning says. "No matter how you cut it, blacks earn less than non-blacks, irrespective of age, gender, occupation and level of bilingualism," consortium director Jim Torczyner, a 不良研究所 social work professor, said after presenting the findings.
