[QUOTE="Notedstrangeperson, post: 63825449, member: 227984"] (I'm not trying to cause an argument about who's worse-off here, this is simply a chart that caught my eye.) [CENTER][IMG]http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/files/2012/06/2012-sdt-asian-americans-002.png[/IMG] (Via [URL="http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2012/06/19/the-rise-of-asian-americans/"]pewsocialtrends[/URL])[/CENTER] Hispanic Americans are actually less likely to have a degree that black Americans, yet on average Hispanic households earn $6,700 more than black households. Why is that? A few other interesting stats I came across: [LIST] [*]Roughly 14% of Native Americans have degrees - compared with 18% of black Americans - and the median income for a Native household is $33,132 ([URL="http://gbgm-umc.org/umw/NA/"]link[/URL]). [LIST] [*]This is slightly lower than the median income for black households but significantly lower that Hispanic households, who are even less likely to have any kind of degrees. [/LIST] [*]77% of Native Americans have high schools diplomas (same link as above)... [*]Compared to 65% of Hispanic and black students ([URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900934/"]link[/URL]). [/LIST]For whatever reason, degrees among black people seem to have less earning power compared to other ethnic groups. [/QUOTE]
