That's the distribution of careers within each race and ethnicity. Not a distribution of races within career fields. That's why you have four totals of 100% for four individual races/ ethnicity instead of one total of 100% for all four races/ethnicities combined.
White employees could account for 96% of the employees while African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics and Lations could account for 1% each. But, the individual breakdown of each 1% will show a distribution that equals 100% because you're only breaking down that 1%.
So you cant draw your conclusion based upon that graph.
So more Asians might choose professional career, but that graph doesn't mean Asians outnumber other races in professional careers.
I understand that; however, if we are talking hiring practices we must consider ratios and not total numbers (read Majority). The graph does not support the assertion that there is a drastic ratio difference (you'll notice I used ratio when I first referred to the graph). Of course there are going to be more white males.
