Is there a proper study on how much race affects income when properly adjusted?

When I look for these kind of stats all i get is "x group makes more than y group"  


I want to know what happens when you account for education, social status, personality, life choices and location. Do the differences disappear or maximize or stay the same?

If you’re interested in the marginal effect of being black vs white on income, controlling for education will not give you an accurate estimate. The issue is that race also has an effect on educational attainment. By controlling for education, you are ignoring that black Americans have lower incomes in part because they have worse educational opportunities.
