A new study shows that employers are less likely to call back applicants with Black-sounding names than those with white-sounding ones.
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Chicago recently filed 83,000 fake job applications for 11,000 entry-level positions at multiple Fortune 500 companies with names like Brad, Greg, Darnell, Lamar, Amanda, Kristen, Ebony and Latoya.
The study, “A Discrimination Report Card,” found that the white-sounding applicant names were favored up to 24 percent more than the likely Black applicants.
“It’s of course upsetting and discouraging that in the year 2023 and so on that this phenomenon persists and can be at the level that it can be detected with an experiment like ours,” Evan K. Rose, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the report, said.
The 2021 study built upon research from a 2003 study, which found that applicants with names that sounded white got 50 percent more callbacks than those whose names sounded Black.
The new report also found that the percentage of discrimination varied among industries and went onto name companies with the worst rates. Auto dealers and car part retailers were the least likely to call back Black applicants.

Your tax dollars at work
I had a black coworker whose mother named her Brittany so she wouldn’t be discriminated against because of her name on her resume. She got the job, all right, but she was terrible. Sat on her phone all day texting and face-timing, and when she did work, made tons of mistakes. Maybe focusing on names isn’t what everybody should be doing...

> “It is very easy to fire a white person if the hire doesn’t work out. But it is very complicated to fire a black person for the same reason.” <
Good point. On a related note, it’s also why companies are often reluctant to hire workers over 40. Fire a younger worker, and out he goes. Fire an older worker, and you might get slapped with an age discrimination lawsuit.
The question was something like: “your boss tells you that the job requires 110%. We asked so many people what percentage they would give?”
