Which statement accurately describes the conditions under which discrimination continues to exist in a competitive labor market?
Multiple choice question for Human Capital. Select an option, then review the explanation below.
Explanation
Discrimination can persist in a competitive labor market only if customers are willing to pay extra to uphold discriminatory practices or if government policies mandate such discrimination. Simply observing wage differences between groups does not conclusively prove discrimination, as other factors may be involved. Likewise, discrimination is not impossible in competitive markets, nor is it solely caused by biased employers.
