But it turns out the name atop that resumé sadly can still, in the 21st century, be a liability for Jews. That’s the finding of a new landmark study from the Anti-Defamation League on discrimination in the job market against Jewish and Israeli Americans. For this study, ADL asked a leading labor economist to conduct a field experiment submitting applications in response to administrative-assistant job postings using resumés that were identical except for specific characteristics, such as the applicant’s name.
The researcher sent out 3,000 applications this year for jobs in 23 cities. By using names that suggested applicants were Jewish American, Israeli American or American with Western European backgrounds, the researcher was able to determine that individuals with Jewish- or Israeli-sounding names like “Rebecca Cohen” and “Lia Avraham” would need to send many more applications than someone with a less ethnic sounding name such as “Kristen Miller” in order to receive a positive response.
How many more? The survey showed that the fictional Rebecca would need to send 24% more applications, and fictional Lia 39% more, to receive the same number of positive first responses from a prospective employer.

What about people who are gentiles, but have names that people apparently think are Jewish, like Jon Corzine.
Treating people poorly because of their race isn’t right.
Certainly when it’s real Jews. But even for those who claim to be Jews but are not.
Of course, there is my doctor who is 100% Scottish and surname is “Cohan” that I picked based on Archie Bunker’s advice.
Apparently that’s a not-uncommon Scot surname.
Probably shouldn’t admit that.
I can’t see it?
The ADL has been right about every other thing they have said so they are probably playing pretty fair with this assessment too.
</eyeroll>
Administrative assistant jobs? That’s their criteria?
The employers probably just wanted to avoid liberal women who would make the worst PAs
Plenty of people on FR mistake German or Eastern European names as signifying a Jewish background. Peter Strzok, Adam Kinzinger, Nicholas Sandmann, come to mind.
Mine is proud to have me; when I worked for Frontier I couldn’t wear my Jewish star, my new boss encouraged me to wear it.
What if you a person of color who has a name like Whoopie Goldberg ?
How did they tell you you couldn’t wear it? Did they ban other pins?

I agree re: the ADL. It’s not a reliable source.
AND it has a chip on its shoulder on this issue.
But, anti-Jewish and anti-Christian discrimination is alive-and-well in the select parts of the USA (large blue cities) and some industries, particularly the government and academia.
It’s mainly leftists, although there are some freaks like we see periodically on FR that blame Jewish people for all their failings or who like to blame all Jews for the faults of some Jews.
They were descended from Jews with that name. Not trying to claim El Chapo but Guzman probably merrano too.
You would think, but no.
Irish: variant of Cohane an Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Cadhain (see Coyne)
Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Cadhain ‘descendant of Cadhan’ a byname from cadhan ‘barnacle goose’. Irish: Anglicized form of Ó Comhgháin ‘descendant of Comghán’ a Connacht name usually Anglicized as Coen . Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Cuáin ‘descendant of Cuán’ a byname from a diminutive of cú ‘hound dog’. English (of Norman origin): perhaps a variant of Connie a habitational name associated with Weston Coyney in Staffordshire whose manorial affix is taken from the family of John Koyne or Coyne (1242) and also with the adjacent village of Caverswall. Coyne might otherwise derive from Coingt in Aisne France recorded as Cuin in 1160. English: possibly from Middle English coyn coigne Anglo-Norman French coign coigne ‘wedge die for stamping money’ a word which later came to mean ‘piece of money’ and may have been used as a metonymic occupational name to denote a moneyer. English (of French Huguenot origin): altered form of French Coin .7: French: nickname from Middle French coine ‘bacon rind’ denoting someone with rough skin compared to the rind of the pig.
It was a small collar pin and no, no other pins were banned that I know of. They told me my pin was ‘distracting’ ...
I have a “jewish last name” and I have had overt, explicit employment bias directed my way (and so has my wife).
How do they do against presumably black or Asian names?
Unappealing “white” names?
Rohan Cohan?
Would guess that college grading is worse.
