Black graduates earn 23% less than white graduates

Black and minority employees and candidates still face deeply entrenched “race inequality” in the world of employment.

A recent review by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) painted an “alarming picture”, according to the BBC.

Black graduates earn on average 23.1% less than white graduates, and more ethnic minorities are unemployed, according to the report.

David Isaac, the EHRC's Chairman, explained that the report revealed a “very worrying combination of a post-Brexit rise in hate crime and long-term systemic unfairness and race inequality.”
