women who have the same levels of education and experience as White women receive, on average, about the

same level of pay. One study shows that White and Black college graduates have identical salaries immediately

after college; however, the racial wage gap widens over time, an outcome that suggests the possibility of

continuing discrimination. Other researchers conducted a field experiment by responding to job

advertisements with fictitious resumes using names that were either commonly associated with Black/African

American people or names commonly associated with White people; they found that the White-associated

names received 50 percent more callbacks for interviews. This is suggestive of discrimination in job

opportunities. Further, as the following Clear It Up feature explains, there is evidence to support that

discrimination in the housing market is connected to employment discrimination.
