I think I'll try testing this statistically, even just as a cute example for Statistics Done Wrong. Thanks for the idea.
(If I get interesting results I'll post back here in a few days)
edit: I can't replicate the results in their charts using this BLS table:
http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm
For example, for veterinarians I get 90.7% white, not 96.5%. Am I missing something?
- TylerE 13y agoThe statistics done wrong bit is where they don't control for socioeconomic status.
- sanskritabelt 13y agoEven ignoring those two chumps on the radio, the socioeconomic status of auto body repair (90.7% white) is not very high.
- TylerE 13y agoI don't think that's really true. That's generally something that requires at least tech school/community college. It's not manual labor.
