The results are in. I'm sure you are all as shocked as I am to know that the wages of black families have continued to drop relative to inflation, but what's actually surprising is that that dismal statistic is propped up by a rise in wages for black women. Wages for white males has remained stagnant over the past 30 years. But the biggest winners of all?

White women. According to the study their wages have jumped fivefold (500%).

Yeah, whenever you go from being a homemaker to having a job, your wages tend to jump signifigantly. Often from 0$ to a signifigantly higher rate.
