Untangling Discrimination: How Temporary Staffing Agencies Rely on a Racist Business Model to Discriminate Against Black and Female Workers in Houston & Nashville

National Legal Advocacy Network and our partners at Unemployed Workers United and Action Center for Race and the Economy just released a new report, Untangling Discrimination: How Temporary Staffing Agencies Rely on a Racist Business Model to Discriminate Against Black & Female Workers in Houston and Nashville. This report exposes the racist and misogynist underpinnings of America’s temporary staffing industry, its ongoing impact on race and gender equity in America’s workplaces, and the role public money and private equity firms play in proliferating the temporary staffing business model. Utilizing rigorous match-paired testing conducted by the Equal Rights Center, our report highlights race and gender-based hiring discrimination and occupational segregation between Black and Latinx workers in Houston, TX and Nashville, TN.
