Prediction: In my lifetime (I’m 22) blacks will suffer a huge employment crisis. With their on average higher IQs and stronger work ethic, Hispanics will drive at least 50% of blacks out of the private sector. Along with an re-expanded welfare system, government jobs will be increasingly offered as a sop. Black employment even now is heavily concentrated in the public sector, but in ten years it will be very hard for whites to get government jobs. The top levels will be heavily white, but the mid-level white government worker will dwindle, even if a lot of make-work jobs are created to accomodate unemployable blacks. This will certainly change the face of the D.C. area, but it will also make the government workforce more pervasively leftist and more socialistic in its work ethic as it elevates the right opinions and community service over performence. As for what non-black Americans will think of a primarily black government workforce, all I can say is that average Americans will have a lower opinion of government workers than they do now.
Razib adds: Latinos are marginalizing the working classes of other races throughout the West because of their willingness to work at lower wages and longer hours. I visited Kentucky last spring, and there were actually English speaking white women changing the bedsheets. Surreal.
