I don’t understand the relocation one - how did you get to a job offer without knowing that was needed?

I’ve turned down jobs because they needed me to relocate and wouldn’t provide comp to make their timeline of when they needed me to start, but I knew about the relocation beforehand and THEY knew that I lived across the country from them. We couldn’t find the price that worked, but that’s not relocation it’s compensation.

"The findings also suggest that a more challenging interview increases the probability of accepting the job offer by 2.6 percent."

This strikes me as a dangerous and potentially incorrect statement. Does the challenging interview increase the probability of acceptance or is it associated with companies that are growing/popular/frontrunners and therefore a first choice for applicants? Is it a statistically significant difference? Is it simply correlated?

I say this because these statements are not in a vacuum. For software development, which is the only industry I can speak to, many interviews are already ridiculous in length and number of rounds. Some HR at a decent company is going to look at this and say "Well, guess we should make our interviews more burdensome".

Also, I just noticed... this survey is from November 2020. That seems like it would be important or at least notable. Though I may be in the minority on that.

[The fact that the chart quite clearly says "Tax" in red, the color for outgoing costs they paid, with $19B next to it]


You are contradicting yourself. Chart says they paid $19B in tax, you're saying $19B isn't the tax they pay. So therefore yes, you're saying there's an error in the chart. But then you say you're not saying there's an error in the chart.

Dude, why do you keep shifting your argument?

>19B (all tax paid) / $394B (total revenue) = 4.82%

Again, not true. The 19B isn’t the tax they pay. I’m not claiming there’s an error in the chart, I’m claiming that your analysis of it is incorrect. You’ve said several times that this $19B is the tax they pay, and that’s why I originally told you that was wrong

In census data, race and hispanic/latino origin are two distinct concepts.

Race is based on self-identification and has five categories: White, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. People can identify with one or more of these groups.

Hispanic or Latino origin is based on heritage and also have five categories: None, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and “other Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin."

Hispanic/Latinos can be of any race. An Afro-Caribbean household may be Hispanic and Black. And Anglo-Spanish household may be Hispanic and White.

There is also, of course, nuance in how people identify with the terms Hispanic, Latino, and Spanish, but the Census Bureau uses them interchangeably.

This chart is ill-suited for the analysis your title is trying to suggest. It’s extremely difficult to deduce the gap between races at each age group without looking at each line at each vertical value bar and recreating the source table by hand.

For a comparison it would be better to have 1 line for each generation that plots the gap between the two over time. That way you could, at a glance, say that the gap was wider or narrower for a certain generation at a specific age compared to another generation at the same age.
