If it is true that fishers are generally less educated than farmers in the field of hardware, then it would weaken the argument that Eddy's Hardware is discriminating against fishers, as the store may be choosing workers based on qualifications rather than bias. Factors such as productivity or hours worked do not necessarily address the issue of discrimination, and the fact that fishers only work part time in their offseason is not relevant to their treatment at Eddy's Hardware.
