Content: For example the median income for Black families is $20 thousand a year less than the national median income. As you can see from the chart labeled ‘Black Family Income’ that Black married-couple families make more than twice that of Female householder families. This charts also indicates that there may be a substantial benefit for those in a married-couple family regardless of race or ethnicity. However we must also recognize that an increase in marriages between lower income couples would most likely lower the median income of married couple households not eliminating but reducing such benefit.

Wages by Education
African American median Income has increased since the Great Recession of 2008, however the racial gap persists. African Americans were the last major racial/ethnic group to start recovering from the recession. Another indication is the correlation between education and wages. Black men earn just about $200 (weekly) less than all men with the same education level including those with Bachelor’s and Advanced Degrees. Black women fair better earning about $100 less (weekly) than all women but Black women with an advanced degree are earning $63 more than all women per week. CLICK IMAGE TO ZOOM
