What is SES? Jerry Johnson Web Developer Dolan Media Company

The reason you have more poor whites is that there are more whites period. But as a percentage of their ethnic group there are fewer poor whites than poor blacks. As I mentioned in our analysis of the NORC dataset the correlation between race and SES was over .5. That means that when analyzing the effects of poverty you cannot look at poverty alone, you have to include race as a factor in your analysis. The NORC dataset I'm referring to is a huge study - it followed about 30,000 children in several different cohorts throughout the school system for their entire time in school. Ethnicity, SES, academic achievement, and about 40 or 50 other variables were repeatedly assessed throughout the study. With this size of a sample its a fairly good estimate of what happens in the general population. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:145104 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
