Applicants Should Be Hired On Merit, Not Employment Status
New legislation in Concord to help protect workers from discrimination.
Unemployment has been a problem throughout the United States for the last four to five years. People sometimes forget that unemployment means that people do not have a jobs. Short-term unemployment can happen for many reasons, however with millions of unemployed workers on the streets a new trend has emerged.
Some employers have begun to discriminate against workers who are currently unemployed. It is not that they do not have the qualifications needed to work in the job they applied for, it is that they currently have no job to speak of. Employers have begun telling applicants that they are only looking for people who are currently employed.
People do not want to talk about discrimination, though it happens all the time. Now people are being discriminated against because some company owner wanted to increase his profit margin and decided to outsource those jobs?
