Hiring In Advertising Agencies

Advertising Agencies working in New York City have agreed to hire more African Americans as managers. According to statistics the current number is quite low about 2.5 of the total population of advertising employees. This is a good move, but New York City (especially in Queens County) has many minorities, and assistance should be broader across the spectrum. It’s not just Black and White any more. The local government should consider all demographic grroups. In Queens there are about 100 non English languages spoken.

At the very least I would like to know how many Chinese, Indian and Hispanics work as managers. If their percentage is also quite low, should not they be hired too? New York City is too diverse to only recognize one group of citizens.
