• I only have one example from my own past. When I graduated college in 1979 with honors, and applied for a government job, I was told that the waiting list was 7 years long, but only 3 if I had my masters degree. A black female in the lower part of my class was hired for the job immediately, as she filled two quotas (B & F) under Affirmative Action in the Carter administration. If you need stats, you need to surf somewhere other than Lake Erie or AB. :)
