Columns 1–3 report the minority (African American and Hispanic) share of the toxicity risk, jobs, and good jobs for all facilities in each industry. Columns 4 and 5 report the difference between the minority share of the toxicity risk burden and the minority shares of jobs and good jobs. The named industries are those with at least 15 facilities among the 712 in the study.
