Is it true that expansionary monetary policies mainly support the employment of the unskilled and disadvantaged in the labour market?

We start by looking at how expansionary monetary policies affect employment and unemployment, depending on the level of education or for those in difficulty in the labour market (young people, minorities in the United States). We see that expansionary monetary policy primarily benefits the low-educated, the young , and minorities in the United States. The explanation may be that skilled employees, or those with less difficulty in finding a job, do not face significant unemployment. If there is full employment for the skilled, for example, an expansionary monetary policy will not reduce unemployment among the skilled, but will raise their wages.
