(January 24, 2012, Ha'aretz)--Ethiopian immigrant men who graduated from university earn an average of NIS 9,411 per month, as opposed to native-born Israelis who earn NIS 17,252 for a 48-hour work week.
Ethiopian immigrants with college degrees earn only half as much as native-born Israelis with similar degrees, even when the immigrants have been living here for 20 years or more, according to a new report prepared by a research institute at the request of the Immigrant Absorption Ministry.
There are currently some 2,000 Ethiopian immigrants with post-secondary education who have lived in Israel for at least 20 years. The study, conducted by the Myers-JDC-Brookdale Institute, compared a representative sample of 920 of them with existing data on some 580,000 native Israeli Jews with degrees.
The study found that Ethiopian men with college degrees work an average of 48 hours a week and earn an average of NIS 47 per hour, or NIS 9,411 per month. In contrast, native-born Israeli men with degrees work an average of 47 hours a week and earn an average of NIS 85 per hour, for an average monthly salary of NIS 17,252. Read more from Ha'aretz »
