Or you could do the reasonable thing and instead of hiring less qualified people, you can sponsor DEI training programs, scholarships, and followup internships. Help them become qualified.
The Employers either should help the less disadvantaged, or they shouldn’t. Make up your mind.
If they should, I argue they should do it by sponsoring training opportunities. If they shouldn’t do it, then they shouldn’t do it at all, including by preferentially hiring the disadvantaged.
I personally think it is not the Employers responsibility, but it is still the right thing to step up when the government fails at its job.
