Black-white earnings gap returns to 1950 levels

(Duke University) After years of progress, the median earnings gap between black and white men has returned to what it was in 1950, according to new research by economists from Duke University and the University of Chicago. The experience of African-American men is not uniform, though: the earnings gap between black men with a college education and those with less education is at an all-time high, the authors say.
