This is something every record label should do: RSS feeds for everything you could ever hope for from Sub Pop. Combine this with their generous helping of mp3s, and you have the makings of a nearly perfect record label site.
I agree that the findings of the study are not entirely a surprise. Similar studies have been conducted before
and consistently show the same results in that many employers (including minority employers) show preference
on racial lines at all stages of the hiring process.
Fortunately, such discrimination is already illegal; however, it is difficult to pinpoint violations because
the law requires that an offense be intentional and demonstrable. In a 2002 study conducted by two professors
from the University of Chicago and MIT that utilized racially indicative names (i.e. there was a "Brad" and a
"Tyrone") submitted with resumes of equal qualification. The study recorded how many of the applicants
received callbacks or interviews based on resumes where the only significant difference was in the name. In
findings consistent with this new Princeton study, it showed that applicants with "white-sounding" names were
50% more likely to receive a call for an interview than those with "black-sounding" names. What's more
interesting in the context of this new study involves the apparent lack of impact of the credentials of
applicants on the stigma of being an ex-convict. To bolster the comparison between blacks and white ex-
convicts offered by the Princeton article, the former study found that the positive impact of the(identical)
credentials of those with "white-sounding" names was far greater than that of those with "black-sounding
names" on the chances of getting an interview. Just an interesting comparison I thought was poignant to this
topic.
It seems, however, that studies like this do little to address the issue of racial discrimination in hiring
practices beyond shining a glimmer upon it every five years. Greater accountability of employers through
rigorous audits of this kind with actual penalties for violations would perhaps be prudent.

Comment by ugg classic tall — October 7, 2011 @ 1:47 am"I don't see anything about this case that's simple or garden variety," the judge said. http://www.northfacestores.netAnother complaint concerned missing records for customers from 2001 through 2003, which has made them impossible to identify. The settlement will take about 14 percent of the total — representing an estimate for the fees paid by those customers — and put the money into nonprofit financial literacy programs.
