Of course they had to, otherwise there would be a chorus that there is nothing that suggests that the prejudice exists. >Course there will be the chorus that it was unscientific, too small a >sample space, or that it really doesn't say anything about the >'majority' of americans. But what if it did? Not unscientific. Its a legit survey method. As for a 5000 for a sample that's statistically powerful. As for representing the majority of people here, no it does not. What it represents is a sample of employers who happened to be looking at resumes when they did or did not respond. The study did not eliminate all plausible alternative explanations, so it doesn't settle anything or confirm/disconfirm a theory. It fits in with providing additional support, but its not definitive. larry -- Larry C.
