Income Gaps Found Among the College-Educated

Workplace discrimination has always been a problem in our history. According the Census Bureau,a white woman with her bachelor's degree earns $37,800, an Asian woman makes $43,700, and $41,100 for a black woman. There was no reason given for these differences. Economists and sociologists did come up with some possibilities. There is a tendency for minority women to hold more than one job or work more than the typical 40 hour week, and the tendency for minority women to return to work sooner than others after having a child. Employers in some fields, have a tendency to give some financial incentives to young black women. There is also workplace discrimination for males as well. A white man with a bachelor's degree earns $66,000 a year, Asians earn $52,000, Hispanics $49,000, and blacks $45,000. Are there any other possibilities for this workplace discrimination? What causes employers to pay people differently if they all have a bachelor's degree from a 4-year college or university?
