That is appalling. And people will still insist that racism is no longer a problem.

I don't think the bars on the graph are mislabeled; doesn't each bar represent the percentage of people of that race who were unemployed at those times, and the colours denote the percentage of each unemployed group who had a prison or a non-prison background? The majority of unemployed people surely haven't been prisoners at some point, even in an incarceration-happy place like the US.

Even more disturbing in terms of criminal justice and race, an audit study underway here at the U of M has found that a simple arrest record (with no conviction) has a huge impact on employment potential. And, as you might guess, the same study has also found that young black men without criminal records are less likely to get called back for a job interview than young white men with an arrest record...

How did the hirers know from the CVs that the applicants were black or white? Clearly from the figures they did, but I'm wondering whether it was just implied (by names, schools, etc) or whether they knew for sure. I expect if there was any uncertainty, the effect must be a lot worse when hirers know for sure.

White people are afraid of black people, especially black criminals, duh.

asian, chinese, japanese, vietnamese, latino, etc., where are they in this study ?

And people wonder why affirmative action is important; I hate getting into discussions with (white) friends about how it takes jobs away from qualified people.

This happens even for high level jobs. I'm a senior software engineer with 12+ years of experience and I used to work for one of the largest software/hardware companies in the world. Our whole engineering department at our site got laid off (30+ engineers). I went job searching, and in this economy one takes what one gets. When interviewing for the company I currently work for (well, until the economy improves, though the company is not bad at all overall), the HR person let me know that they would be doing a background check and she then looked directly at me and asked her 'if there was anything in my background she should know of'. If the economy wasn't so bad, I would have walked out at that point. I'm pretty sure (and I've asked around) that the way the question was put to me wasn't put to white employees. In her eyes, a black male with a degree, 12+ years of experience coming from a prestigious company applying for a six figure job was still suspect.

When the background check came back, she actually sounded positively surprised (all schools checked out, no criminal record, glowing references from past bosses etc). Some days I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Anonymous_for_you, that's sad they'd do that to you. Goes to show you, even the most qualified black-man is always turned down.

What about women?

I wouldn't want to hire someone with a criminal background, so why should a company? There has to be some form of reasonable reassurance that you're not going to be yet another victim. I'm not saying that transgressions of youth shouldn't be overlooked and opportunity given to turn things around, but there are a lot of people with repeat convictions, who've proven they aren't adapting to social expectations. If this creates an appearance of racism, then it is what it is and the fate of a race will depend on it's ability to transcend it's own weaknesses. Stop making this an injustice by finger pointing, own up to problems and fix them.

Don't forget or over look that the majarity of blacks talk & act like scum bags. The majority of blacks contribute nothing to America but bad manners ,AIDS have off spring that run the streets robing rapeing and make schools a unsafe place for normal children. Blacks are a curse on America and the world. I wish they would conform to rules and act like productive members of America. But they refuse they choose to be scum bags. And no way will I accept or excuse there poor actions just because there black. If the majority whites acted this way I would say the same thing about whites. Time for all other races to no longer put up with how the majority of blacks act.

Bundy,yes they do ask the black person all the time that question I applied for the federal government job first words came out his mouth...do I anything on my record I laughed an said (no).....

When you're applying for a job, once they see that you have a record, you're OUT- doesn't matter what your race is. And since most, if not all, applications are filled out on the internet, they seldom know what race you are. So, really, what difference does race make?! The affirmative action part of the process, at the end, is for federal compliance. Seldom seen- before the 'criminal record' segment of the application.

Fantastic article.Really looking forward to read more. Awesome.

All human beings are coming from Adam and Adam is made out of dust only people with sick hearts are racists!

continued racial discrimination in employers’ hiring practices for jobs that remain, African Americans info_7,

It’s sobering to see the data on how systemic bias persists in the job market, especially since so many of the series I watch lately use these exact themes of societal prejudice to build their worlds. For those of us in the Arab community who follow these narratives and want to discuss them further, I usually catch the latest subs over at animeslayer.to to stay updated. It’s interesting how often fiction mirrors these real-world sociological hurdles we see in the statistics.

This study highlights serious systemic issues. It's truly disheartening to see how a criminal record, even for minor offenses, can unfairly limit opportunities, especially when race plays such a significant role. It makes me think about the fairness of systems everywhere. It's like trying to play Eaglercraft on a server with unfair lag; some players are just at a disadvantage from the start.
