Well that they explained in the article.
"...Grounds cleaning/maintenance workers are 44 percent black, but groundskeepers are 90 percent white..."
So [I assume] they draw a distinction between the worker and the boss.
Also, the Groundskeepers MAY have specialized knowledge. Degrees in botany or business for instance. (Maybe even both???) Not saying they do... just pointing out that we don't know a lot about that profession and so there may be more going on than can be seen from the numbers.
- vacri 13y agoIt just seems a very odd way to describe bosses - as 'workers'. Usually 'workers' refers to the people doing the grunt work. It's a bit like calling middle management "management workers"; techinically correct but not the way people actually reference them. I wonder why they didn't just say 'groundskeepers'? When the revolutionaries say "workers of the world unite", they usually don't mean to include the bosses :)
