通过匹配的盎格鲁和西班牙裔求职者审计实验，分析了芝加哥和圣地亚哥年轻西班牙裔男性在求职中面临的歧视程度及其相关因素。
This study examines the extent and correlates of discrimination faced by young, accented, Hispanic males in Chicago and San Diego, using the outcomes of job applications by matched pairs of Anglo and Hispanic job-seekers. This is one of the first examples of audits being used in the labormarket area. The audit methodology provides a powerful basis for examining discriminatory hiring practices, because it permits direct comparison of hiring outcomes for pairs of Anglo and Hispanic jobseekers with similar labor-market qualifications. In this paper, we first present differences in Anglo-Hispanic success rates in filing applications, obtaining interviews, and obtaining jobs. This builds on the descriptive analysis presented in Harry Cross et al. (1990). We then focus on the correlates of differential success in obtaining interviews and in subsequent job acquisition. I.
