86. When people apply for jobs they reveal information about themselves through the application process.

By the time an interviews are done, an employer will be able to determine the candidates' ages, levels of education, and histories of past employment. The employer can also make inferences about whether the people are likely to have certain characteristics based on how they behave in an interview. If they dress poorly or talk in a nonstandard dialect, they are statistically more likely to use public assistance. People will pick up on these cues and will use them to sort between people who are likely to need public assistance.

There are also steps an employer can take to decrease the probability that their employees are not on social assistance. The employer can post vacancies in a way that reduces the number of people applying that are likely to be on assistance. The employer can also change their policies to be less accommodating to people that are on assistance, perhaps doing things like being less accommodating to people who need a large number of sick days to care for their children.
