They can be just as educated, just as bilingual and in the same high-paying jobs as white people, but black Montrealers still earn substantially less than whites, a new ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ research project shows. "The data demonstrate that blacks have dramatically lower incomes than non-blacks ... at every age and even among university graduates," the study by ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ's Consortium for Ethnicity and Strategic Social Planning says. "No matter how you cut it, blacks earn less than non-blacks, irrespective of age, gender, occupation and level of bilingualism," consortium director Jim Torczyner, a ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ social work professor, said after presenting the findings.
