Visible Minorities: Generation Immigrants

Minority Men Dept: Based on 2006 long-form Census data, researchers found visible minority Canadian workers earned 81.4 cents for every dollar paid to their Caucasian counterparts. That s according to a report by two major think tanks, the Wellesley Institute and Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives , according to The Star. The colour code persisted for second-generation Canadians with similar education and age, though the gap narrowed slightly with visible minority women making 56.5 cents, up from 48.7 cents in 2000, for every dollar white men earned, while minority men in the same cohort improved by almost 7 cents, to 75.6 cents and a colour code is keeping visible minorities out of good jobs in the Canadian labour market, a new study says. Researchers compared earnings of first-generation immigrants of visible minority and Caucasian backgrounds and found that earnings by male newcomers from visible minorities were just 68.7 per cent of those who were white males. As reported in the news.
