Religious discrimina­tion at work

-

Muslims, Jews and Evangelica­ls in the United States experience workplace discrimina­tion in different ways, according to a study from Rice University in Texas. Drawing on a survey of 13,270 people from 2020, the researcher­s conducted 194 in-depth interviews and found two-thirds of Muslims, half of Jews and 36 per cent of Evangelica­ls faced discrimina­tion at work. While Muslims and Jews often faced negative comments about their faith group, Evangelica­ls were more likely to be singled out with demeaning comments about their moral beliefs. Evangelica­ls also often reported social isolation at work due to their faith. WWW.STUDYFINDS.ORG
