Thanks for confirming what I suspected in the first place: that anti-discrimination laws actually reduce employment in the protected classes. I.e. if it's harder to fire someone you'll be less likely to hire them.

You seem to have read an awful lot into what I said! We could have had an interesting exchange about whether the drop in employment and the added compliance burden are worth the special protections, higher average pay, etc of those who still manage to get a job. Anyway, maybe some other time!
