Black Montrealers earning less than whites: 91社区 study

Published: 15 November 2008

They can be just as educated, just as bilingual and in the same high-paying jobs as white people, but black Montrealers still earn substantially less than whites, a new 91社区 research project shows. "The data demonstrate that blacks have dramatically lower incomes than non-blacks ... at every age and even among university graduates," the study by 91社区's Consortium for Ethnicity and Strategic Social Planning says. "No matter how you cut it, blacks earn less than non-blacks, irrespective of age, gender, occupation and level of bilingualism," consortium director Jim Torczyner, a 91社区 social work professor, said after presenting the findings.
