Employers are being urged to take on more candidates from ethnic minority groups as new research show discrimination still exists among British bosses. The report published by the Department for Work and Pensions shows that Muslim women were particularly likely to be penalised when it comes to getting work. Bosses at firms across the country are now being urged to look at graduates from different ethnic backgrounds when hiring staff. Speaking about the report, secretary of state for work and pensions John Hutton, said: "Along with improvements in training and skills - such as the increased emphasis on English language training for benefit recipients we announced earlier this month - ethnic minority employment rates can be improved. "It's about government leading from the front and asking those supplying government to adopt the same principles." The number of people from ethnic minority groups who are graduating from university has increased steadily in the past decade and despite the recent report, statistics show that more employers are taking on ethic minority staff than in the past.
