More of the
unseen benefits of mass immigration altering US demographics:
Evidence
from the American Time Use Survey 2003-12 suggests the existence of small but
statistically significant racial/ethnic differences in time spent not working
at the workplace. Minorities, especially men, spend a greater fraction of their
workdays not working than do white non-Hispanics. These differences are robust
to the inclusion of large numbers of demographic, industry, occupation, time
and geographic controls. They do not vary by union status, public-private
sector attachment, pay method or age; nor do they arise from the effects of
equal-employment enforcement or geographic differences in racial/ethnic
representation. The findings imply that measures of the adjusted wage
disadvantages of minority employees are overstated by about 10 percent.
White men are more productive on average. This isn't news to anyone who
actually works in the labor force or is familiar with national productivity
statistics. The good news is that at least it isn't racist. White women are
less productive too.
But it is one more piece of evidence showing that immigration is NOT good for the economy. It is, however, good for white contractors.

Subway-repair
contracts had to be issued and work performed as emergency repairs to every leg
of the DC Metro train system this summer. Populated 92% Black, every
maintenance job up to the most specialized engineering positions are held by
Blacks, who cannot perform said work. Like women in the Navy, they hold the
job, knock down the pay and benefits, but someone else has to do the work under
contract.
