Propter Inc.: Case Analysis
The company employs seventy-seven whites compared to six-three non-whites. However, this must not be a cause of alarm since the US has a white population than minorities. The average pay for the white employees at Propter Inc. is $ 3,351.17, while that of the minorities is $ 2,820.63.

The data shows that the minority forms 67.4% of the employees in the lowest job grade. In grade two, which has a total of 41 employees, the minorities only have 13 employees. The data shows that minorities have only 31.7% of employees in the second job grade. The situation worsens in grade three, where minorities have a low representation of only 21.9%. Again, the data shows that discrimination against minorities is less likely to be promoted.
In analyzing the tenure in each grade, we realize that the average tenure in grade one is 1.85. The minorities have an average tenure of 1.79 while the whites have 1.98. The data shows that the white employees generally took longer in grade one before promotion. Grade two had an average tenure of 3.31, with the whites having 3.34 while minorities had 3.26. The data again showed that the whites took longer in the job grade. In grade three, the average was 4.2; whites had 4.8, while minorities had 3...
