"Leroy Washington and Brett Hartsfield are fictitious job seekers with identical credentials. They apply for a job in response to an ad. Which one is more likely to get the interview?

According to a 2002 study conducted by University of Chicago and Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers, Leroy Washington may be 50 percent less likely to be called in for an interview. That means that for every one resume Brett submits, Leroy would have to send in 15 to have an equal chance of being interviewed." Monster.Com
