In the rest of the metro-region, the relative concentrations of the racial/ethnic groups within different industries are about the same, but the actual concentrations are lower, reflecting the overall smaller percentage of minorities outside the city. The concentration of racial/ethnic groups within certain industries is linked to differences in educational attainment by race (Figure 1.9), and is highly spatially segregated. Whites in the City of Chicago are far more likely to have a bachelor's degree or higher than whites residing outside the city, blacks living in the suburbs register a higher level of educational attainment than those living in the city. For Hispanics, the differences between the city and the surrounding region are not as great.
