When the narrator begins his journey up north, he begins to see a totally different culture which he was never aware of before. There seemed to be much more equality, and both blacks and whites held seemingly equal jobs.
I think it exemplifies the ideologies of Booker T. Washington, in that one should strive towards economic success to rather than social equality in order to succeed in life. Of course Ellison deconstruct this idea in the end, as even the wealthy narrator is still forcefully submissive to the ideals of The Brotherhood.
