Very peculiar math.
Apparently assumes that “equalization of incomes” would be achieved by blacks and hispanics being brought up to the average white levels.
Whereas of course the equalization could also be achieved by bringing the white average down. Which is of course much easier to accomplish.
The article did not indicate any explanation of exactly how racism costs the states lost revenue, nor any evidence that racism in hiring exists. I wonder if the study did.
Magical wealth for all!
With this logic, it makes sense to restrict immigration to only those who have the skills to earn 6 figures.
By penning such a truly moronic article he only reinforces the racial stereotype.
How much does the state of Georgia get in wealth transfers? Much of that untaxed and unreported.
I agree that racism is costly to states. Therefore, white people should stop subsidizing black sloth, corruption, and crime by paying for useless welfare giveaways, food stamps, BET, Obamaphones, Obamacare, midnight basketball, Head Start, and all the other worthless redistributionist programs invented by the communist Left.
Total nonsense. The pay for various jobs performed in Georgia and any other state is not set based on the race of the worker, but upon the skill required by the job and the supply and demand of able and willing workers.
If every worker had an advanced college degree, then we'd have thousands of folks with advanced degrees performing low wage jobs. But the basic assumptions of this article are pure nonsense.

ridiculous... it has nothing to do with race... it has to do with job skills...
“Affirmative Action” reduces the value of so-called “equal qualifications” and “prestigious universities”, when minorities are admitted and advanced based on race instead of objective merit.
We got an affirmative action president, afraid to reveal his grades and “scholarly writings” and he turned out to be the worst ever.
“In addition, even when Black graduates finally received a request for a follow up interview, they were offered significantly lower salaries than their white counterparts.”
If they have the same skills, that is criminal; if everything they do has to be spell-checked re-written anyway, what is the problem? I had a file clerk who filed anything for “Mr. Xyz” under “M”; money down the drain. She then complained when an accounting position (that required years of experience) went to another employee. Both were black females, yet the file clerk still sees racism there somewhere...
Income inequality-the condition where high school dropouts and single mothers don’t feel they are getting a big enough piece of the pie even though they have done nothing to earn it.
not my job to insure that folks who fail to try have an equal opportunity.
Just remember that obammy is in effect a quota BOY.
In order to get most salaried jobs these days you need at least a 4-year degree. I know that’s true here in Georgia with even the State Government entry-level positions.
Most “poor” people forgo college.
The Liberal push to have “everyone” go to college and their simultaneous push to require a degree to perform every possible job just may be one of the leading causes of our growing “income inequality.”
I do not believe I have heard this theory put forward until it occurred to me this morning on a lawn mower.
The Center for American Progress? This is all crap.
The only Corporations in America that make their affirmative action “goals” are black corporations. The rest can’t find enough blacks with degrees to meet their hiring goals.
What’s this idiot think would happen if all wages were raised to be the same? All those lower wage jobs would just stay around? The idiocy of the left is stunning.
Now there's an unbiased source.
Reads like a high school term paper.
Studies based on garbage in, garbage out. That’s the Marxist Center for American Regress
