On average, more whites attend and graduate college compared to African Americans. The most recent statistics states that a low 43 percent of blacks graduate college compared to the 63 percent of white students who finish their education. Why is this statistic so staggering? One reason may be a limited income that permits one to complete their education. As we all know college is expensive, and continues to rise year by year, thus the percentage will dive as more and more students will not be able to afford the costs of tuition. Another statistic shows that black graduates with a four year education receive less income than whites with the same or less education. What can we do in the work force to make wages more equal?

I feel there is nothing we can really do in the workforce. There will always be ignorant people, especially in the workforce. We can only hope that people will look to a person's TRUE credentials, not just the color of their skin. No matter how many equal opportunity laws are passed or company diversity quotas there are, there will still be some segregation.
