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 growth of the number of African Americans in manufacturing and mechanical positions from 1910 to 1930. The number more than doubles from 1910 to 1920 and then continues to drastically increase up through 1930.
