Black-White Wage Gap

This article talks about the inequality in wage between Black and White. Black white wage gap does not improve much since 1970. In late 20 century, the median black household was earning 59.6 percent as much as the median white household. Nowadays, the median black household was earning 59.8 percent which is 2 percent more comparing to the late 20 century. The reason why Black earning less than White because they are working less hours than White due to their own family condition or other circumstances. Therefore, the government should deal with this problem seriously, and try to narrow the gap between black and white.
