From the Paper:

"There is clear evidence that in general men are the preferred candidates for any position (other than those excusive for women) in the job market. Even when candidates from both the sexes possess similar qualifications, employers show a distinct bias in favor of men. An audit study conducted on restaurant recruitment pattern in Philadelphia attested to the existence of discrimination. In the above study, mock resumes were used to find out the hiring pattern of restaurants throughout the state. The results revealed that women in general received offers from poor paying restaurants while the bigger well paying restaurants preferred men."
