Jamaican Wage/Income Gap

The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 367,813,360 people shows a mild negative correlation between the proportion of Jamaicans and wage/income gap percentage in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of -0.394 and weighted average of 19.6%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in Jamaicans within a typical geography, there is a decrease of 0.35% in wage/income gap percentage.

It remains uncertain whether the presence of Jamaicans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of wage/income gap percentage within an area, or if Jamaicans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of wage/income gap percentage due to other factors.
