From the Frontlines: Jewish and Israeli Americans Face Discrimination in the US Job Market
Update: 2024-12-22
Description
"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism and hate.
It is clear from ADL's incident response work that discrimination in our workplaces have become part of this battle, but that is based on discrimination against those already working at companies. Recently, ADL’s Center for Antisemitism Research set out to see if that discrimination extended to the actual hiring of Jews. They put out a first-of-its-kind study which shockingly showed that people with Jewish last names were less likely to receive an interview after applying for a job. The finding is stunning, and the details are important here.
To help us unpack this research, Matt Williams joined this podcast. He is the Vice President of ADL’s Center for Antisemitism Research.
