Diversity in the Workplace
نویسنده
چکیده
An unbiased employer engages in optimal sequential search by drawing from two equally quali ed subpopulations of job candidates who di¤er in their discourse systems. That is, minorities convey noisier unbiased signals of ability than non-minorities. We show that when the employer is selective, minorities are underrepresented in the workforce, red at greater rates, and underrepresented among initial hires. Workplace diversity increases if: the cost of ring falls, the cost of interviewing increases, the opportunity cost of not hiring increases, or the average skill of candidates increases. If, however, the employer is su¢ ciently unselective, minorities may be overrepresented in the workforce.
