If it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s because there are more young, low-wage men of color, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not so sure that this is a sign of college women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s progress&#8230;.So, is this a story about women with college degrees moving to the big city and makin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 it or is it about a change in the demographics of cities, with more, very low wage men of color? It may be a bit of both, but while the article implies that this data show that women with college degrees are outperforming their male colleagues, there is nothing in the statistics presented that indicates this is the case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> I&#8217;m guessing this counterview never makes it mainstream.  Instead, how long do we think it will be before the backlashy chorus&#8211;women outpacing men!&#8211;chimes in?  If that chorus shines the light on raising wages for urban low-wage men of color, terrific.
