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 indicates the number of African Americans working in certain trades in 1910, 1920, and 1930. These number grew steadily from one decade to the next. The source for this chart was the Occupation Statistics of the United States Bureau of the Census.
