Passage 2

短文2

A new study finds that job seekers are even willing to explore jobs with lower salaries when companies are more diverse. It finds that sharing information about diversity makes job postings more attractive to job seekers, even when pay is lower.

一项新的研究发现，当公司更加多元化时，求职者甚至愿意探索薪资较低的工作。研究发现，分享多元化信息会使工作职位对求职者更具吸引力，即使薪资较低也是如此。

To conduct the study, the team partnered with an online job listings platform, which emails postings relevant to individuals and their job search criteria. 

为了进行研究，研究团队与一家在线职位列表平台合作，该平台会根据个人及其求职标准发送相关职位的电子邮件。

For the course of the 11-week study, the platform emailed job listings to some 180,000 users placed in one of two conditions：in the baseline condition, participants saw emails in the normal format with no information on diversity. In the diversity condition, participants saw a diversity score for each listing, information about the race, gender, education, and language skills of a company's workforce compared to others in the same sector and location. Information was then gathered on whether the email was opened and which job listings were clicked on by each user.

在为期11周的研究期间，该平台向约18万名用户发送了职位列表，这些用户被分为两组条件之一：在基线条件下，参与者看到的是没有多元化信息的正常格式的电子邮件；在多元化条件下，参与者会看到每个职位列表的多元化得分，以及该公司员工在种族、性别、教育和语言技能方面与同一行业和地区其他公司的比较信息。然后收集信息，了解电子邮件是否被打开，以及每个用户点击了哪些职位列表。

Participants in the diversity condition tended to click on job listings from companies with slightly higher diversity scores than those in the baseline condition. That is, participants seem to be paying attention to information about diversity and using this when deciding whether to click on the listing. And the team also found that participants were willing to look at listings with lower salaries if they came from companies with a higher diversity score.

与基线条件下的参与者相比，多样性条件下的参与者倾向于点击多样性得分略高的公司的职位列表。也就是说，参与者在决定是否点击职位列表时，似乎会关注多元化信息并据此作出决定。此外，研究团队还发现，如果职位来自多元化得分较高的公司，参与者也愿意查看薪资较低的职位列表。
