I see a bunch of claims, but is this actually illegal in the US? More specifically, is it illegal to selectively advertise a job provided that the business doesn't profile during actual hiring?
If I post job listings in upper-class white neighborhoods only, would that be illegal?
What if I had one ad that targeted men and another which targeted women? What if the male version was designed to be successful while the female version was designed to discourage response?
- PeterisP 8y agoYes, USA laws require that jobs be advertised on a nondiscriminatory basis. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/practices/index.cfm https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/practices/index.cfm is a decent summary. All the examples you provide would be illegal. As the provided example states "For example, an employer's reliance on word-of-mouth recruitment by its mostly Hispanic work force may violate the law if the result is that almost all new hires are Hispanic."
- matz1 8y agoUnfortunately yes, the descrimination law in the US is ridiculous and complicated.
