Men Get More Job Opportunities Than Women!

Here is news that may boil the blood of some women! It has been found that men receive significantly more tips about job opportunities than women and racial minorities, especially among people in upper management positions. These findings highlight racial and gender inequality in the labor market.

It seems white men receive more job leads than white women or Hispanic men or women. However, there is no difference in the number of job leads received by white men compared to black men and women. More than that white males receive more job leads when they are high-level supervisors, while black men and women receive more job leads when they are in non-management positions that supervise no one.

The disparity between white men, minorities and women is greatest among workers in high-level management.

These gender and race differences in access to job opportunities help to explain why white men continue to fill a disproportionately large number of jobs in upper management. The gap in job information between white men and Hispanics leads to the fact that whites tend to have more "social capital" than Hispanics.

The study, however, has not ascertained why white women receive fewer tips on job opportunities than white men, since the two groups have approximately the same amount of social capital. Also remains unexplained is the point as to why the job leads disparity among women and minorities was greatest among high-level supervisors. The disparity may stem from some form of either conscious or subconscious discrimination on the part of co-workers and employers.
