Posted by Concourse Express on Mon Jun 25 12:21:00 2012, in response to Re: Correction Re: INTERVIEW: Why Bad Jobs - or No Jobs - Happen to Good Workers, posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Fri Jun 22 16:04:26 2012. I wouldn't say racism is the sole cause of the disparities (though an example of what you call the "natural variety" - HBD - is attribution bias, which leads to what you've described as the "man-made" variety).I can't speak for other occupations, but in my search for engineering gigs I found some of the states/locations with the most positions open (depending on the company, of course) were upstate NY, NJ, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Texas, California, Virginia, and a few others; the one constant is that many of the gigs aren't in city centers. Hence, if cats aren't willing to broaden their job search to include other states or suburban/rural locations, their chances of landing gainful employment drop. Another important factor (specifically relating to the dilemma recent college grads face) is that, despite the apparently low unemployment rate for degree holders, the rates do not count cats who either haven't looked for work for 4+ weeks or "discouraged" workers; more on that here. visit my blog! |
