The last census showed Bermuda had a population of 58,460. Of this 61 percent or 35,076 registered as black. White and other registered the other 39 percent
The total work force is 37,457, but there are no accurate figures by race on the work force, but if the same ratio of 2 black 1 white and other applies, then 22,474.2 of Bermuda's work force is black, and 14,982.8 white.
There are no numbers for black/white/other broken down by what positions are held, and it is only observation and anecdotal evidence that shows there are more whites than blacks in positions of power. CURE regulations hope to change this by offering accurate figures and seeing if there is any need for change.
These are the most recent figures on the Bermudian work force and do not include race.
