Review Your Hiring Practices Because The EEOC Will Be
The EEOC is focusing on failure to hire. In late September, it sued sporting goods retailer Bass Pro Outdoor World, LLC, alleging that it engaged in a pattern or practice of failing to hire African American and Hispanic applicants for jobs in its retail stores nationwide. The lawsuit also alleges that Bass Pro unlawfully destroyed or failed to keep records and documents related to employment applications and internal discrimination complaints and punished employees who opposed its unlawful practices.

During the Recession Discriminatory Hiring Practices Increased
Several academic and governmental studies confirm that whether or not current discriminatory practices are deliberate, minorities are facing disparate treatment in the hiring and employment markets. For example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate for black male college graduates 25 and older was nearly twice the unemployment rate for white male college graduates 25 and older in 2009.
