Before coffee math: Blacks are underrepresented by 18.4%. Whites are overrepresented by 24.9%.
You might need your coffee:
From BMH's data (unchecked):
Airline workers:
48.1% White, 15.1% Black
Population at large:
White: 60.1%, Black: 12.2%
So, 15.1 > 12.2 implies blacks are overrepresented in the Airline industry,
and 48.1 < 60.1 implies whites are underrepresented.
(Unless I'm missing the point entirely.)
BMH:
Local News report this AM concerning the need to increase diversity in the airline industry.
among the Airline Pilot and “Front line” workers, where the racial breakdown currently is:
- 48.1% White
- 18.2% Hispanic
- 15.1% Black
...
Meanwhile, Google reports this population breakdown as of Dec 2020:
- White: 60.1% (Non-Hispanic)
- Hispanic: 18.5%
- Black: 12.2%
