Rejected petition Promote more employment opportunities for black people to boost the economy.
We need support to boost employment opportunities for coloured people. A lot of companies have “equal opportunities monitoring” process for their applications but that doesn’t help either. Discrimination needs to be taken more seriously so we can boost they economy by getting more people in to work.
More details
A lot of people from ethnic minorities (especially coloured people) succesfully apply for jobs and get invited to interviews only to get rejected after successfully answering the interviewer’s questions correctly and confidently. This is mostly the reason why employment rates are low between blacks.
