The College Board has released data from an initiative with the aim of better understanding the educational pathways of men of color<\/a>. \u00a0Their site includes testimonials from many of these men, in addition to the data below. \u00a0And they included Native American men, a group almost always left out of quantitative data analysis because they are such a small percent of total Americans (in a profound and tragic irony). \u00a0Here’s the data on what each group of men are doing after high school<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About 1\/3 of African American and Hispanic men are enrolling in some sort of college, another 34 and 47%, respectively, face unemployment. \u00a0A significant proportion go straight into work. \u00a0The 5% incarceration rate for Hispanics, and the 10% rate for Blacks, is a sad testimony to the over-policing of poor, urban neighborhoods, racial profiling, and emphasis on prosecuting the crimes of the poor.<\/p>\n

Native American men are significantly less likely than Black men to go to college or vocational school. \u00a0They are most likely to straight into a job or be unemployed. \u00a0While not all all Native American men live on reservations — not by a long shot, those that do are more likely to be unemployed because of the dismal economic profiles of many of these regions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Asian men are more likely to enter postsecondary education than either Native American or Black men, but the 61% is balanced by a good 30% ending up unemployed. \u00a0This reflects the diversity of the Asian community. \u00a0Some Asian groups do very well in the U.S. — e.g., Japanese and Asian Indians — others are still struggling — e.g., Hmong and the Vietnamese.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The charts below compare men and women in each group. \u00a0Each, with the exception of Native Americans, reveals the feminization of postsecondary education and the relative advantage women see in the market (mostly because we’ve got a strong service economy that hires women disproportionately).<\/p>\n
