CAIRO — The British job market is plagued by a widespread racial
discrimination against workers with African and Asian backgrounds, a
government survey has found. "Candidates with an Asian or African name
face real discrimination and this has exposed the fact that companies
are missing out on real talent," Employment Minister Jim Knight told
the Guardian Sunday, October 18.
The survey, whose findings would be made public on Monday, October 19,
shows that racism and bias against minorities' jobseekers are
widespread among British employers.
Researchers sent 3,000 job applications using names recognizably from
three different communities for 987 actual vacancies between November
2008 and May 2009.
