Whites, Minorities Differ in Views of Economic Opportunities in U.S.

“Gallup’s annual Minority Rights and Relations Poll underscores the different economic realities faced by whites and minorities in the United States. While a majority of non-Hispanic whites think racial minorities and whites have equal job opportunities, the majority of Hispanics and vast majority of blacks disagree. Blacks are much more likely than whites or Hispanics to say unemployment is the most important problem facing the country. Most blacks feel that American society is divided into the “haves” and the “have-nots,” and blacks as well as Hispanics are more likely to say they belong to the “have-nots” group. Blacks and Hispanics also express more concern than whites about meeting their family’s expenses. The differences are even greater on the subject of jobs.”
