Labor Force over the years

In the past 20 years blacks and other minorities have put up great efforts to become equal. Although the numbers are not as high as the average white man, minorities have made a successful climb on their job charts. Blacks went from 5.6-7.8 (million) civilians employed. The efforts still put forward to achieve better and more jobs are stronger than ever.

Unfortunately for black men, women today have a higher number work force. In 1980 black men were more dominate but in 2004 black women have been doing better than black men. This climb (if steady) should continue until 2012 when black women will have almost 1 million more employed. Leaving the black men less jobs.

For our work force to be equal we need to even out the jobs. The job statistics although increasing are far from equal. Factories and warehouses should hire even amounts of races and sexes, to even out the job force and to create equality among the country.
