According to the Central Statistics Agency in the Netherlands (CBS), ethnic minorities are more likely to have jobs below their professional background than whites. The problem is largest with those having a University degree.

In the above chart ‘niet-westerse allochtonen’ are ethnic minorities and ‘autochtonen’ are whites. The chart starts at ‘basisonderwijs’ (elementary education) and ends with ‘wetenschappelijk’ (University).

The Central Statistics Agency did not look at the causes of these diferences, although many would suggest the differences could be partly explained by prejudice and discrimination.
