Selected Differences in the Life Chances of Black and White in the United States. Research Group One, Report No. 17.
Ehrlich, Howard J.
Tabular data presented in this report comprise: total and black population of the U.S. for every census period from 1790 to 1970, the 50 cities with the largest black population for 1970, an index of residential segregation for 1960, selected views of age and sex, life and death, the educational profile of white and black in 1970, family income for blacks and other minorities compared to whites from 1974-1970, sources of income for whites and blacks for 1972, percent of total national income received by each income tenth, the distribution of black Americans in the occupational structure for 1940-1970, the differences in 1960 and 1970 between the percentage of all workers in an occupation and the percentage of blacks in the occupation for 1960-1970, the annual unemployment rate for black and other minority for 1948-1971, the level of unemployment for persons 16 to 19 years old from 1955 to 1971, and racial differences on selected social indicators such as health, income, education, and occupation. Among the highlights are that differences in health care available to blacks continue to result in higher death rates for them, that the black population has still not achieved the median level of a high school education, that discrepancies for black and white men are constant throughout the occupational structure, that the annual unemployment rate for black and other minorities has remained at about twice the rate of white unemployment since the end of World War II, and that the level of unemployment for persons 16-19 years old now includes one third of the black teenage population.
