Synopsis

Prominent figures from Booker T. Washington to William Julius Wilson have dispensed the same advice to young black men: "Get a trade". This text puts such folk wisdom to an empirical test and exploses the subleties and discrepancies of a workplace that favours the white job seeker over the black.
