WHAT POC GO THROUGH IN THE WORKING INDUSTRY
Forced to work front line jobs putting them more at risk
Especially during COVID-19 black workers have been forced to work front-line jobs putting them more at risk
Black people are more likely to work in jobs that can expose them to the virus, with little protection and less time off from work putting them more at risk for contracting covid
Given hard labor jobs
Black people are less likely to be given a job in a field like teaching, social work, daycare provider etc. and are more likely to obtain a labor job like a factory worker, construction worker and manufacturing positions
They are also more likely to do a lot of the unwanted tasks at work such as mopping, cleaning, taking out garbage, and are often treated less equal to their white coworkers.
Payed less than white coworkers
Black women are paid 21% less than white women
Statistics show that black workers make less money than white employees
Not getting enough hours
In some workplaces people of color do not get the same hours as their white coworkers resulting in less pay
Declined payed vacation even when other employees were accepted
Black people hired to show "Diversity"
Black people will be hired to make it look like it is a diverse environment
Racist employers will hire lightskinned black people to show diversity, but not darkskinned because they can appear as "bad" for the company
Putting black people on the cover of business pamphlets and job commercials can also portray it as a diverse welcoming company
Not getting calls when leaving ethnic details
Minorities who whiten job resumes tend to get more interviews
Job applicants with a African-American names need to send almost twice as many resumes to get a call back
compared to applicants with "whitened names"
By removing references to their ethnic backgrounds also known as "whitening" it gives them a better chance at getting a job
