The article purports to be about hiring, but uses net gains/losses by group. Actual hiring data is left out.
The breakdown by job category tells a different story from the headline. Whites were well represented in the growth of executives and professionals, but overall declined in the "less senior" category of laborers and service workers.
- SenAnder 3y ago> Whites were well represented in the growth of executives and professionals From the article's numbers, whites (57% of US) got 42% of executive jobs (N=~2677), 22% of manager jobs (N=~40K), and 28% of professional jobs (N=~104K). Summing these three categories, they got 39K of the 147K executive/manager/professional jobs, or 27%. Your "well represented" is an under-representation of 0.47x - in the hiring categories where they are best represented.
