For the last couple weeks I have been in Fort Lauderdale, FL and I have noticed that most of the low paying jobs are filled with colored minorities. I know this is the case in most areas of the United States but I feel that it is more of a problem in this area. The majority of white people have high paying jobs while the colored, specifically African Americans and Haitians are filling the jobs that pay low and have intense labor. I have also observed that the colored people working within construction or landscaping jobs are put in intense labor positions while the white people on the same job site have the position of sitting in machinery or just watching the colored people work and I imagine that the white people are getting paid more for doing less work on the job site. I don't exactly know if that is true that the white people are getting paid more or why the colored people are in low paying jobs but it is issue that I have observed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
