Are we surprised? According to a new study conducted by CareerBuilder, as reported on BET.com, 25 percent of African-Americans feel discriminated against in their respective workplaces.

African-Americans led the pack of minority employees who expressed feelings of discrimination, with disabled workers at 22 percent and Hispanic workers at 21 percent. Interestingly enough, Asian workers came in last at 11 percent, even below women and LGBT workers. We can guess that the differences in cultural attitudes impacted the degree to which employees expressed their dis-satisfactions in this study.

The report also revealed that “African-Americans were one of the least likely groups, at eight percent, to make more than $100,000.”
