Black Canadians most likely to be overqualified for their job. Here's what that means

Black Canadians are the most overqualified racialized group when it comes to employment, new census data from Statistics Canada shows.

This means a greater number of Black Canadians find themselves in jobs requiring a high school diploma even though they’ve earned a bachelor's degree or higher at a post-secondary institution

The overqualification rate for Black Canadians was 16 per cent, compared to 11 per cent for Canadians on average. It didn’t matter whether it was a recent immigrant or a settled Canadian, the rate of over-qualification was the same.

As Kyle Benning explains, experts say a societal shift is needed for Black graduates to reach their full potential.
