Study 2: new york city, 2004: sent teams of white, black and latino auditors visited 340 employers, matched on physical appearance, verbal skills, interactional styles, education and work experience. Despite evidence of differential treatment, the testers did not perceive discrimination. In nyc, three testers inquired about a sales position at the same retail clothing store: the employer spoke with each and appeared to treat each one fairly. [the employer] said the position was just filled and that she would be calling people in for an interview if the person doesn"t work out. She informed me that the position was already filled, but did not know if the hired employee would work out.
