seems like all the stuff is things that were dominated by white people since it's invention.
The 33 whitest jobs in america
- Thread starter Julius Skrrvin
- Start date
I worked for 3+ years in the design and construction department at a Black owned REIT that built, renovated, and managed Marriott and Hilton Hotels. My boss was Black and one of the other Assistant Project Managers was Asian. When we'd show up on site for inspections or to directly manage projects and run meetings with contractors, we were the only minorities involved in the project at a non laborer level. The Latino's and White construction workers were always so surprised to see more than one Black person in leadership position on site that they thought I was my bosses son.
As a department we had vendor control over where our money was spent, but good luck finding Black owned architecture firms, project managers, engineers, and manufacturers. Between the unions and the preferred vendor lists and pre-existing special relationships with procurement companies involved in the design build process there's a high barrier of entry for minorities to get equal representation in the industry. It's all about contracts. If we can secure more contracts we can employ more folks who are under represented.

It is... They just didn't divide musicians by genre.I'm surprised Country Musician isn't topping the list at 99.7%.
Same with sports.

I'm an aerospace engineer and I've never had a black co-worker in my department (they're always in sales or on the manufacturing floor).
It's not really surprising since there were only 2 of us in my graduating class (65 students).

Many of these jobs are unionized so it's not super surprising.
