Americans are convinced by report claiming minorities are taking jobs away from whitesNo, minority workers are not taking jobs away from white people.
Yet, that’s the conclusion some drew from a controversial report recently released by the Economic Cycle Research Institute. After a New York Times columnist wrote about the report this week — highlighting the disparity in recent job gains by race — readers have resolved whites were “left out” of the nation’s financial recovery and are victims of “economic disenfranchisement.” But other economists argue that the analysis tells an incomplete story of what the economic recovery has meant for various demographic groups. To start, the report asserts that of the more than 5 million jobs added since November 2007, the pre-recession employment peak, more than half went to Hispanics — a stunning proportion that accounts for four times their share of the labor force that year.

1. I thought they were all unemployed and getting welfare?

So which is it - are minorities taking all the jobs, or are they leeching off welfare?
