General Discriminatory Hiring Everybody is looking for men as workers. When I left my place at the plant, they said I could have my job back if Iwas a man. They only want men. Women are tied down with children so employers don't want to hire them. I don't know how we will survive.
Women also confront sex discrimination when they seek new employment.
Government employers openly express their preference for hiring men. At the request of employers, government employment offices frequently advertise jobs for men only and refuse to refer women to jobs if the employer has indicated a preference for men. 182 Public sector employers often ask women about children and marital status in job interviews and reject applicants on the basis of their sex, maternity or potential maternity. Female job seekers interviewed by Human Rights Watch in state unemployment offices identified being a woman, and particularly a woman with children, as the greatest barrier to finding work. They reduced the labor force by many.
