Here's a PDF. White people with a criminal record are received more positively than noncriminal black-sounding people.
"Employment discrimination against people with criminal records, especially in entry-level positions, is rampant, as demonstrated by a 2005 report produced by the Commission called “Race at Work: Realities of Race and Criminal Record in the NYC Job Market” written by Drs. Devah Pager and Bruce Western. [1] The report relied on results from matched pairs of testers of young white, Latino, and African-American men who applied for 1470 entry-level jobs throughout New York City. Not only were whites more likely to get a callback or job offer than Latinos or African-Americans, African-Americans were nearly half as likely to be considered as whites.[2] When white testers presented with a recent felony record, they were as likely as Latinos and much more likely than African-Americans to receive a callback or job offer.[3] Overall, people with criminal records are only half as likely to get a call back than those without; for African-American applicants, the likelihood is reduced to one-third.[4]"

- 0xcafefood 3y agoGot it, so not studies in the sense of a peer reviewed publication. Maybe something more like a "position paper."
- EatingWithForks 3y agoYou can't exactly double-blind study black people but how many studies do you really need? My original stance was only "in some cases, discrimination exists". You're really ridiculous about the bar of evidence you expect from me here. "Are Emily and Greg More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal?
