Racial Discrimination by British Employers

In recent years there has been considerable interest in discrimination, but the debate has concentrated too little on matters of fact. The facts on which this article is based were obtained as a by-product of an investigation into the earnings of qualified male labour in Britain at the end of the tax year 1965/6 and therefore just prior to the restrictive economic measures taken by the Government in July 1966. During that study, earnings data were obtained for groups of men differing in national origin. The results are worrying and suggest the existence of strong racial discr imination by British employers. They are remarkably similar to those obtained from earlier studies in the United States. The size of the discrimination coefficients agreed closely with similar calculations for the American South in 1939, and were appreciably worse than those for the American North and West just before the war. If the situation in the United States has improved in the last thirty years, then the comparison is still more unfavourable to Britain.
