Or you know maybe it is those self same anti discrimination laws that cause this problem.
I mean really, who in their right mind would want to hire an employee that they know they essentially cannot fire or lay off should they need to without asking for a very expensive lawsuit that even if they win will cost them tens of thousands of dollars.
The problem that you and most liberals always overlook is the unintended consequences of your feel good laws. Sure people discriminating against any group of choice when it comes to hiring and other job decisions is a bad thing, but providing them with extra legal protections just creates a catch 22 where companies are damned if they do hire them and damned if they don't so they go to every length possible to avoid hiring them while staying within the letter of the law.
