The Latest on Workforce Race Relations

At least in the accounting profession, there is evidence that race still matters. According preliminary results of a December 2005 survey of 427 members of the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA), the profession still has a way to go.

Fifty-nine percent of respondents believe that because of their race, they have not always received unbiased/objective evaluations from their supervisors, and 55 percent sense that the mistakes they might make in the workplace directly impact the perception/evaluation of other members of their race.

Almost half think their non-minority counterparts with less technical competence or experience are given more high profile/challenging job assignments, and 63 percent feel no obligation to remain with their current employer.
