Joe Alvarez has filed a complaint with the EEO alleging that his employer, Universal Mortgage company promotes more whites than Hispanics into managerial position. Explain the statistical methods used by the EEOC to investigate this adverse impact claim.
The easiest way to see if Universal Mortgage Company is discriminating against Hispanics would be to check both the employment history of the firm and the employment racial statistics of the Mortgage market, and to compare the two for any form of irregularities. If Alvarez is correct, the Universal Mortgage Company should have a significantly higher percentage of white individuals being hired than the market percentage of white individuals being hired.
