When it comes to the workforce, there are two main categories: those who are currently employed and those who are actively seeking employment. Those who are actively seeking employment count in unemployment statistics. If someone is not actively seeking a job, they’re not part of the unemployment statistics. Let’s first look at those people who currently have jobs. Different ethnicities face different hurdles in the workforce. Some face pay gaps due to their ethnicity while others don’t get called back to more interviews because of the way their name sounds. It’s important to look at the current situation minorities face at work.
