In a study conducted by a sociology
professor, 1,300 companies in Chicago and Boston received four fictitious resumes each,
in response to "help-wanted" ads they had posted. Each of the resumes had equivalent
education and experience. The only difference was in the names of the applicants. Some were
names associated with Blacks while others were names associated with Whites. The results
showed that the applicants with the White-sounding names were 50% more likely to be asked
to an interview than those with the Black-sounding names.
