The title is disingenuous. It said [Will] and what fields is the writer referring to? And then it proceeded to,
Thankfully the study wasn’t all bad for non-white business school grads. In three industries — real estate, manufacturing, and government — people of color earned more than Whites and Asians.
So, what exactly is the writer saying?
- sp332 11y agoIt's based on a survey. 6-8 years after graduation, white MBA grads report $94k higher annual earnings than Asian grads.
- mbcrower 11y agoThat's not what the chart in the article shows
- sp332 11y agoThis chart? http://thehustle.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/1x-1.png http://thehustle.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/1x-1.png What does it say then?
- ksylvest 11y agoThat to me shows an income disparity of approximately 20,000 between white (and asian) men and black (and hispanic and native american) men 6 - 8 years after getting an MBA.
- sp332 11y agoOh you're right. That chart aggregates values from all the schools. But only Harvard Business School (mentioned in the headline) had a gap of $97,800.
- killface 11y agoit's newsworthy when men make more than women, or when whites make more than non-whites; however, it's only a passing statement (in the vein of a full diclosure type byline) in which the opposite is true. This article also fails to mention if the study controlled for types of law practiced by these people -- something that still persists in our "pay gap myth." A lot of the PoC and women that I know in law started out doing basically volunteer work, contract review, innocence project, public defender and environmental defense work, etc. While a lot of the white men went into patent law, divorce law, corporate law, etc. Basically higher-paying professions.
