re: CFPB: Due to Discrimination, All Employees Rated A 5!

The ratings disparities were first made public by American Banker in a March 6 article that found African-Americans and other minority employees were far more likely to receive lower evaluations than white employees. The more than 1,100 employees were rated on a scale of 1 to 5; the agency grants greater benefits, including raises and benefits, to those who receive higher scores.

The report found that "the average ratings for black and Hispanic employees were lower than the average ratings for white and Asian employees. The difference was statistically significant in both instances."

It found that employees less than 40 years old received an average rating of 3.94, while older employees received an a rating of 3.78 on average.

The disparity was even greater for employees who were part of a union versus those who were not. Nonunionized employees received an average rating of 4.04; unionized employees received an average 3.79 rating.

So older, unionized minorities didn't perform well? From my experience working at the state, that sounds about right.
