A black man with an associates degree has the same chances -- about 88 percent-- of finding a job as a white high school graduate, according to a recent analysis of employment rates and education for whites and minorities by Young Invincibles, a nonprofit group focusing on the economic issues impacting millennials. Getting a bachelors degree ups those chances to 93 percent for a black man, the same as a white man who dropped out of college. In a lot of ways that proves the saying that black people need to work twice as hard to compete in this country as white people, says Tom Allison, policy and research manager for Young Invincibles and author of the report.
