Part Ⅱ Blank-filling (10%)
Put a word in each blank that is appropriate for the context.
Recently, Congressional Democrats introduced legislation to make it easier for older workers to win age discrimination lawsuits. Age discrimination remains a significant workplace issue.
In recent ten years, 15.79 percent of cas __1__ to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, were described as successful claims. While this number is small given the number of workers covered by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, many, if not most, instances of age discrimination are never sued, and cas of hiring discrimination often __2__ undetected.
Most of tho who do sue are white, male middle-managers who are likely to have lost a sizeable salary and pension. For the most part, other groups do not __3__ becau the costs of a lawsuit outweigh the potential benefits. Age discrimination remains a significant workplace issue.
There is strong experimental evidence for age discrimination in hiring, at least for entry-level jobs. Recently, I performed a labor market experiment in Boston __4__ which I nt
out thousands of resumes for fictitious entry-level female candidates and measured respon rate bad on date of high school graduation. Among this group, younger applicants, who date of high school graduation indicated that they were less than 50 years old, were 40 percent more likely to be called back for an interview __5__ were older applicants.
It is difficult to tell whether employment problems are wor for older workers than for other workers when times are bad. The number of discrimination lawsuits increas during times of high unemployment, but this finding by itlf does not indicate an incread level of age discrimination. In times of higher unemployment, the opportunity cost to a lawsuit is lower than __6__ is when times are good.
From the employer's perspective, mass layoffs may em like a good chance to remove a higher proportion of generally more expensive older workers without the worry of being sued. On the other hand, employers may be less likely to remove protected older workers becau they still fear lawsuits. One thing we do know is that once an older worker los a job, he or she is much less likely to find a new __7__ than a younger worker is.
Unfortunately, the effect of legislation prohibiting age discrimination is not easy to e and may actually be part of
the reason it is so difficult for older workers to find employment. If it is more difficult to fire an older worker than a younger worker, a firm will be less likely to want to hire older workers. Indeed, my rearch finds that in states ___8___
workers have longer time to bring a lawsuit claim, older men work fewer weeks per year, are less likely to be hired, and less likely to be fired than men in states where they do not have as much.
Not many people would suggest that we go back to a world __9__ to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, in which advertiments specify the specific ages of people they are willing to hire. However, legislation prohibiting discrimination is no panacea. The recent propod congressional __10__ could have both positive and negative effects on potential older workers.
