Births, Deaths Under One Year and Infant Mortality Rates in New Jersey by Color 1921-1930, Statistics from The Negro Wage Earner of New Jersey.

This is a chart from a study done by Dr. Egerton Elliot Hall of the unequal distribution of employment across races, particularly concerning African Americans and white Americans throughout the 1910s through the early 1930s within New Jersey. During this time many African American migrants from Southern states were moving to the New Jersey area. Through this study Hall explores the effects of the unequal distribution of employment on various aspects of the lives of African Americans such as their health and education. This particular chart shows the number of biths to African Americans versus the number of births to white Americans for each year beginning in 1921 and ending in 1930. Then it shows the number of deaths of babies less than one year of age and the death rate per 1,000 births in both racial groups. The information for this chart has been adapted from the Division of Vital Statistics of the United States Bureau of the Census
