Firms have an incentive to maximize profits, which means that they will hire the most qualified and productive workers regardless of their gender, race, or other characteristics. Discrimination in the labour market can reduce employer profits by limiting the pool of potential workers and increasing the costs of turnover and training. Therefore, firms that discriminate may face competition from non-discriminating firms and may not survive in the long run.
