Happy Blog Day 2005 or whatever
Did you know that today is Blog Day? Me neither. But after seeing feed after feed point me to new sites today because of it, I thought I'd spread the nerdiness. On Blog Day you point out five blogs that you find interesting. Easy enough, right? Here are five all alphebetized and such:
1. Alan's Mojave Airport Weblog - Photos of stuff that goes on out at the Mojave Airport. I've loved airplanes since I was a kid, so the unusual goings on at Mojave are fascinating to me.
2. Finding DMo - This is the blog of David Morrissey, who sits across the cubicle wall from me for two more weeks until he moves to Brooklyn. He has a nice radio show on Friday mornings here in Salt Lake, and he is a fine writer. He is a jerk for escaping this direct marketing hell before me.
3. Make - This magazine (and blog) seems like it was written just for me.
4. Paul Allen - Not the Microsoft one, the Utah one. He is one of the state's best entrepeneurs, and I learn something from each of his posts.
5. TechCrunch - A highly entertaining resource for all the lastest Web 2.0-type startups and product launches.

Comment by Coach Leather Handbags — August 22, 2011 @ 9:35 pmI 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.
