A report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission published in August 2016 showed that black graduates in Britain were paid an average 23.1 per cent less than similarly qualified white workers. It revealed that since 2010 there had been a 49 per cent increase in the number of ethnic-minority sixteen- to twenty-four-year-olds who were long-term unemployed, while in the same period there had been a fall of 2 per cent in long-term unemployment among white people in the same age category.
