Black, Asian Women With Degrees Earn More

By GENARO C. ARMAS, Associated Press Writer

Black and Asian women with bachelor's degrees earn slightly more than similarly educated white women, and white men with four-year degrees make more than anyone else.
A white woman with a bachelor's degree typically earned nearly $37,800 in 2003, compared with nearly $43,700 for a college-educated Asian woman and $41,100 for a college-educated black woman, according to data being released Monday by the Census Bureau (news - web sites). Hispanic women took home slightly less at $37,600 a year.
