U Think African Americans or Hispanics Make Less Money & Less Promotions than Whites on the Job?

I think it is harder for minorities to get promoted from entry-level factory work to supervisor positions. The reason for this is that a lot of the entry level positions are filled by people who have not become completely fluent in English. Also, factories are just miserable places to work in my opinion. Low level managers sometimes have the flexibility to let personal prejudices influence their decisions. From what I have heard, corporate jobs are much better in regards to promoting minorities. The reason for this is that high level management tends to focus on who can best help the company build a better future. I don't think it is a good idea for a supervisor to befriend employees. I don't think race comes into this; I think it is just a lack of professionalism.

yes,no on average whites are better qualified than minorities, education and prior experience, don't play the race card. nowadays large company's are so overly sensitive to lawsuits they over promote( minorities, women, disabled,40+ year olds are all considered a "protected class" in the USA) ,over more qualified whites, just to make their quota in case a lawsuit is brought against the company, they can prove they are an equal opportunity employer. We can be friends with whomever we choose.ho say the boss can't be black? The CEO at my company is Black african/american

Are you talking percentagewise based on population levels or percentagewise based on how many of a certain race are in the company or just straight numbers? The premise of the last question is rather racist assuming one can group people's reactions to others based on their race alone.

I think this is not on a race issue it is a gender issue. Women make less than men across the board, so if a black man makes 100,000 a yr. a woman will make an average of 20% less than him, even if their education and exp. is the same. I don't think is is just a race concern, it is the taught/ belief that white MEN and just men in general make better employees.

I have worked in corporate America. Their is definitely a glass ceiling for minorities. Their is also a feeling once hired that you are filling an invisible quota...the truth is that the reason these things exist is because getting a job is hard. 98% of people get jobs through recommendations. most people recommend those who are their friends. unless you have a diverse group of friends, you will more than likely recommend someone of your own race!! To answer your second ?...I think it depends on the supervisor. I have had some who are fair and balanced, and have some who are like"what up dog"...I listen to hip hop"...at first I used to get offend, but now I understand they are just trying to bridge the gap that they feel exist between us....the truth is the gap only exist in their minds... One Love!!

No.. I'm hispanic and had more promotions than alot of white people here, in fact

yes, i do think they get promoted less...i don't have logic for it. I just notice it in my work place as well as in other organizations. This of course, is a very general question.

African American and Hispanics are less educated and therefore make less money and have fewer promotions. If you control for the level of education, the opportunities are the same. Supervisors who discriminate in the year 2006 won't make it far in his/her career.

i think women do regarding their color it is called a glass ceilling
