#2You could also say 94% of those jobs went to [age range of your choice] whose hiring numbers increased that much.
This is a common analytical fallacy.
Far more than 323K jobs were added...they're talking about NET jobs added.

They're pretty clear about it in the text; it's just the headline that's misleading:
> The overall job growth included 20,524 White workers. The other 302,570 jobs — or 94% of the headcount increase — went to people of color.
"Overall job growth" and "headcount increase" imply "net jobs added."

#4Sounds a lot like discriminative hiring. Isn't that illegal in the us?

#5Everything already feels so tenuous for early career professionals at the moment, like you're just barely hanging on by your fingernails. Even if people don't say it, the amount of resentment is fierce. People (white people) who are already established and in charge are so eager to do this as long as it doesn't require any sacrifice from them.

Companies do illegal things all the time, particularly if the people charged with enforcing this are inclined to look the other way, which the Biden DOJ and Labor Department are.

#10Seems like we're going backwards... I thought we're supposed to be hiring the best people for the job, not based on skin colour. The people who are supposedly anti-racism are encouraging racism.
