Pay Gap

This recent study done by CSUN of wages of white versus nonwhites is another waste of taxpayers’ money (“Pay Gap Between Region’s Whites, Minorities Widens,” May 11). Of course the gap is now increasing between California whites and Mexicans who come to California. The Mexicans now coming are mostly illegals and have little education or training. Even if they receive the minimum wage they will be down the scale from previous Mexicans who have received California education and training. People with more education or training are a better asset to a company and therefore will be paid more. As of this writing, California is still not a socialist state and people who provide more value to a company are paid more.

We need a college professor to study this fact of life?
