And I bet you the white people that made up that industry was almost entirely Jewish?
No.
That is an anti-semitic stereotype.
A lot of Jews are in the diamond cutting trade, because for centuries and centuries in Europe that was one of the few trades open to them.
The fact is, there are a lot of Italians, French, Thai, Indian, Dutch, Belgians, Greeks and Turkish in the industry. If you investigate the upscale Jewelers on Fifth Avenue - Tiffany's, Cartier, Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, etc. there are very very few Jews employed by those companies.
The fine jewelry and diamond business does have a larger than average representation of gay men, however.
The most interesting factoid in this article to me aren't the jobs on the list but the fact that Whites make up 81% of the workforce. Whites only make up 65% of the population.
While they may not require it employers want it. Also the stats are pretty damning. Only 65% of Blacks graduate with a high school diploma, a figure worse for black males. The half of all dropout number simply shows how negatively skewed things are since combined Blacks and Hisoanics don't make up a 1/3 of population.
Facts are facts.
But there is another side of that statistic you aren't thinking about. Even with education level being equal, Black college graduates have unemployment rates as high as Whites with only a high school education. Education helps, I won't lie about that. However, it doesn't guarantee not being unemployed.
Unemployment rate for White male high school dropouts between ages 16-25: 25%
Unemployment rate for Black male high school dropouts between ages 16-25: 50%
4 of my last 5 dentists were black. My current dentist is black.
My doctor at kaiser is black
