It's utterly stupid that the link goes to TechCrunch instead of the actual study itself: https://hired.com/state-of-salaries-2017 https://hired.com/state-of-sa

  ...and the section on race is very interesting: "When we look at our two largest markets on Hired’s platform, San Francisco and New York, the average African-American candidate on the Hired platform is 49 percent more likely to get hired than the average white person. [...] It's unclear if African American candidates are receiving more offers because of diversity initiatives, a lower preferred salary, or a combination of those and other factors."

  > utterly stupid We appreciate your concern for the quality of HN (and frustration at linkbait etc.) but please don't do this here. The HN guidelines do say to post original sources, but also say not to call names in comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Users submit articles from various sources of varying quality. Moderators routinely change urls to better sources when we find them, and edit titles accordingly. No one would love it better than we if users would just follow the site guidelines and we didn't need to do those things, but to try to make it otherwise would be like Canute commanding the waves. We changed the URL from https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/09/what-software-engineers-are-making-around-the-world-right-now/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/09/what-software-engineers-ar... to the original report it's cribbed from.
