Two white people are definitely more employable on average, even if they're felons and the black people have college degrees!

We perpetuate those statistics on work experience, etc., because the playing field is uneven to begin with. We have a nice little system in which further discrimination is "taking reality into account" once we've ensured a substandard elementary education and reduced chances at a good first job. Read the study: it, of course, controls for educational and work experience.
