It is familiar sights what many black people are working in McDonalds, Burger kings or Wendys’ wages are not really high in those places. In the other hand, most of employees on Wall Street are not black, their wages are higher that other workers. Is it just completely coincidental? It seems that Wall Street does not want to accept black people to work on that place because the skin color is not white.
To get a job, for job seekers, people think there are some important things such as a degree, certificates or licenses, and those things are usual requirements to be hired by firms. However, some people whose skin is black have to consider something more than others. In Johnny R. Williams’ text ‘ In job hunt, College Degree Can’t Close Racial Gap ‘it says “Similarly, Barry Jabbar Sykes, 37, who ahs a degree in mathematics from Morehouse College, a historically black college in Atlanta, now uses Barry J. Sykes in his continuing search for an information technology position, even though he has gone by Jabbar his whole life.” Barry does not seem special, he is just ordinary person who has a college degree, but to obtain an opportunity to be hired, what he has to do is tougher than white males.
Looks like a good start DJ - I'd love to read more of your draft when you have a chance to post it.
