This gem of an article is published on the UT web site.
Some quotes:
African American and Hispanic women are hit the hardest.
Can there be an article about the economy where women and minorities are not the hardest hit?
Another:
The researchers also found the share of African Americans in the category of “high school graduate, GED or alternative” is five percentage points higher than the general population. Yet that group is seven percentage points lower in the category of “bachelor’s degree or higher.”
Shocking!
…where race, low education and limited skills combine, the risks of long-term poverty for the women and their children…
Race, low education, limited skills. One of those three is not like the other two and has no (or limited) effect on wages.
You would think that a “news” article featured on the web site of the state’s premier university would have a little better scholarship associated with it. You really should read the whole thing, as you will find evidence of why I think higher education is in a terrible mess.
