9% of Whites have achieved an associate's degree, as compared to 8% of Blacks
37% of Whites have received any type of college degree, as only 24% of Blacks
Educational background is really a must in finding a job, and it seems that majority of the Blacks do not have the desirable level of education for them to be accepted in various industries. It is good to note that more companies, especially those who are and will be hiring personnel for a permanent status would like to hire a person who has graduated in high school at the least, and only those jobs for temporary or contractual basis would be hiring personnel with no or lower level of education.

Medicine is a demanding but rewarding field, and it is necessary that students dare to dream about becoming doctors, to ensure that African-American health outcomes do not continue to fall short of those of other minority groups, and to
S. news magazines between January 1, 1993 and December 31, 1998. They concluded that the images of the poor in these news magazines "do not capture the reality of poverty, but instead provide a stereotypical and inaccurate picture of poverty that results in a misconception of beliefs about the poor, antipathy toward blacks and lack of support for welfare programs. Similarly, Dixon and Linz (2000) researched the content of a random
