In S.F., minorities' wages lag even farther behind whites'

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

San Francisco's nonwhite residents make even less compared to whites than they do across the country, and middle-income jobs are vanishing here faster than the national average, a new study released by the city on Wednesday shows.

The detailed analysis, a first for San Francisco and unusual anywhere in the United States, also shows how directly education affects Bay Area residents' ability to earn a living.

San Francisco workers who have a four-year college degree earned an average of $72,850 in 2004, while those without a high school diploma earned $18,897. A high school diploma brought average earnings up to $29,955, and workers who attended a little college or earned an associates degree made an average of $39,965, reported Ted Egan, director of analysis for ICF consulting in San Francisco and a UC Berkeley instructor.

Sometimes in life when someone says something the opposite is happening.This is the story of Blue City of San Francisco.San Francisco claims to be more compassionate and "egalitarian" than the typical city.It appears the opposite is true.Land use restrictions,unions,and hatred of middle class add up to a place for only the rich and poor.Trust funds and dogs,that's the San Francisco Way.
