D Correct Answer: People hired by this method are more likely to be white male to reflect the majority of white males in the work force.
Feedback for Correct Answer: When white workers recommend a friend or relative for a job, they may insist that they are not trying to prevent a person of color from being hired but instead are helping someone they know. Intentional or not, word-of-mouth job recruitment offers a distinct advantage to white job applicants and contributes to discrimination documented by statistics on unemployment disparities between black and white workers.
