There was Dutch PhD research done not so long ago. https://www.advalvas.vu.nl/nieuws/met-een-arabische-naam-heb-je-minder-kans-op-een-baan https://www.advalvas.vu.nl/nieuws/met-een-arabische-naam-heb... Translation of the relevant part: With an Arabic name you have less chance of a job Employers still discriminate on a large scale, according to the dissertation of the Utrecht sociologist Lieselotte Blommaert. She put more than six hundred resumes online on websites where employers look for personnel, half were posted by fictitious natives, the other half by fictitious immigrant applicants. Highly educated people discriminate less The CV of Joris or Jan appears to be requested by employers fifty percent more often than the CV of Aicha or Amir. Once the resumes have been viewed, native applicants appear to have a 60% higher chance of being invited for an interview. “It doesn't matter what kind of education people have,” says Blommaert. “It happens to immigrants regardless of their gender, education level or age.” Discrimination is not always malicious, emphasizes Blommaert. “The research shows that unconscious processes also have an influence. When a lot of application letters come in, people still select intuitively.” For example, employers who have more positive contact with immigrants discriminate less, as do women. Also striking: people with a higher education are less inclined to discriminate.
