Negros in Professional Service (Both Sexes) New Jersey 1930, Statistics from The Negro Wage Earner of New Jersey. Retrieved from https://doi.org/doi:10.7282/T3HT2MT0
DescriptionThis is a chart from a study done by Dr. Egerton Elliot Hall of the unequal distribution of employment across races, particularly concerning African Americans and white Americans throughout the 1910s through the early 1930s within New Jersey. During this time many African American migrants from Southern states were moving to the New Jersey area. Through this study Hall explores the effects of the unequal distribution of employment on various aspects of the lives of African Americans such as their health and education. This particular chart shows the number of African Americans in particular professions next to the number of people in the professions overall in New Jersey in 1930. The professional positions include lawyer, chemist, reporter, artist, and librarian. The numbers are very low in relation to the size of the African American population.
