U.S. companies have been under increasing pressure to do more to provide minority groups with access to opportunities in the wake of anti-racism protests sparked by the death of a 46-year-old African-American man, George Floyd. Floyd died in May after a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
The protests also came as minorities were disproportionately represented in coronavirus deaths, and lower-income communities in the United States were hit hard economically. “Today’s economic crisis is exacerbating economic and racial divides and exposing systemic barriers to opportunity”, Dimon said in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal on Monday, adding that often high-achieving people across New York were not given opportunities at the city’s top employers.
“Young people in low-income and minority communities feel this failure the most. Unless we actively work to close the gap, COVID-19 will make matters worse,” said the opinion piece which was co-authored with Félix V. Matos Rodríguez, the chancellor of the City University of New York.
I call Bullshit, 100k jobs isn't a drop in the bucket when 10 million are out of work. Just more big companies bowing down to this bullshit racism
by 2030 why not NOW?!?
Lip service
Smoke and mirrors
Pay people a Real Living Wage and stop resisting Universal Basic Income.
Sizzle but no steak
Window dressing. The real problem is wage/income inequality. We don’t need to just be hiring more minorities to pay them average. We need to increase the pay for all. Wage growth for middle and lower class has been stagnant. Shame on these CEOs for 4 decades we have this problem
Going through the motions
Lip service
sounds good
Billionaires are a minority community too. Spare a thought.
So other than looking at their resume and experience what else are they going to do, equip them with a color chart?
ha ha ha! AS floor sweepers , janitors AND toilet attendaNt cleaners! GIME A FUCKING BREAK!
This is great and good.
This country will not be equal until the majority of people working in banks are POC from poor communities. The idea of equality of opportunity is dangerous as it ignores the fact that white people have an inherent privilege by virtue of the color of their skin.
The restaurants are finally admitted where they get all their kitchen staff?
You mean qualified people?
“Only in New York”
'Rich white dudes spring to action to fight racism'... Sure Jan.
Catch being
A token ass move to dodge that they're a big fucking driver as to why so much inequality and bigotry is perpetuated to start with. It's basically admission of a know that it's getting close to pitchforks and torches by all the dirty plebs they fucked over. They're scared.
Of course not the best, the most qualified, but pandering to the leftist ideology that leads to poor outcomes. Just one look at their leadership proves it.
I guess the group will consist mainly of white well educated managers with high income.
