S.A. whites well ahead in earnings
NZPA-Reuter Johannesburg White workers were paid at least three times, as much as blacks in several South African industries in 1986, according to Government figures. The figures, confirming the trend of past years, show that whites in the motor industry earned average monthly salaries of 1556 rand ($1374), compared with 384 rand ($339) for blacks. White hotel employees earned an average 901 rand ($794) against 263 rand ($232) for blacks. The biggest gap was in the wholesale trade sector, where the monthly income for whites averaged 1933 rand ($1711) and 413 rand ($364) for blacks.
