I don't know what kind of menial positions you're hiring for but I have definitely seen companies with implicit hiring policies that would make it difficult to hire many of the people who are actually in need of menial work for employment. e.g. want menial work?

Even in our current context of an industry dominated by affluent white males I think what I describe above is where race and class discrimination are worst for job seekers.
