About the Assignment
There are many occurrences when bias is found in the selection and retention of employees even when the bias is unintentional. Sometimes, one must look at the results of a process, instead of how it is applied, to see if there is a problem. This assignment will guide you through that investigatory process.
It is generally expected that the demographics (characteristics which can be measured) of a business’ employees will roughly match the same characteristics of the local labor market. If there are significant differences, there may be reason to suspect that the hiring process for the business may overtly or subtly favor certain applicants over others. That not only might be illegal, but may also result in the business not hiring the most qualified employees.
Using nationwide data to investigate for the U.S., perform the following two top-level overviews:
Select five (5) demographic segments/groupings that are available to define the characteristics of the U.S. labor market.
Describe the U.S.’ general population using the SAME five (5) demographic variables/segments that you used to define the country’s overall labor market.
You may use the following websites to start your research and then expand to other sites:
US Bureau of Labor Statistics
US Census Bureau
Note – the Census data will have a larger population than the labor market data, so you may need to adjust the Census for people who are too young or old to be in the labor market.
Prompt
Create a one-page table to show how the selected demographics for businesses compare with the same demographics for the labor market in the U.S. (e.g. compare the percentage of Black workers in the labor market to the percentage of Black residents in the state, or workers aged 25 – 38 YO, etc.).
In a narrative of 1,000 words, note any demographic categories where it appears the percentages may be significantly out of what is considered normal. Speculate on possible legal and illegal reasons for this difference. Make at least two recommendations on how current employment procedures may contribute to the disparity, and how they might be changed to bring the percentages more in line.
