Obama economic adviser voices concerns about 'white male construction workers' getting too much economic stimulus

Article here. Excerpt:

'Economist and former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich worries about too much of the Obama stimulus going to white males in the construction sector.

“If there aren’t enough skilled professionals to do the jobs involving new technologies, the stimulus will just increase the wages of the professionals who already have the right skills rather than generate many new jobs in these fields. And if construction jobs go mainly to white males who already dominate the construction trades, many people who need jobs the most -- women, minorities, and the poor and long-term unemployed -- will be shut out,” Reich said on his economic blog.'

Ed. note: I heard him say essentially the same thing in broadcast testimony before the Congress yesterday. He did not word himself quite the same way though; watch it here. My judgment is that his voice drips with contempt as he says "white male construction workers", but that's just my opinion.
