Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Labor-market discrimination is evident when wages of individuals differ on the basis of some recognizable attribute that is unrelated to productivity. This could be based on gender, race, ethnicity or other factors that have nothing to do with the individual's ability to do the job. B is not necessarily an example of discrimination as wage rates may differ due to differences in experience, education, or skill level. C is an example of consumer preference, not labor-market discrimination.
