Hire women.
That's the conclusion of the largest survey of American thoughts and values ever conducted in United States history. Organized by J. Walter Thompson Advertising executives and authors James Patterson and Peter Kim, the survey questioned over 2,000 Americans, who each answered 1,800 questions during the same one week time span at 50 locations spread across nine geographical zones. Their results are compiled in the 253-page book, "The Day America Told The Truth."
"In America, women are morally superior to men," say the authors. "This is true all across the country -- everywhere, in every single region, on every moral issue tested. Both sexes say so emphatically. Women lie less, steal less, fight less, do drugs less, are less often drunk on the road or on the job. Women are more responsible, more loyal at work, more faithful in their relationships. Women make better citizens, better team players."
While making hiring decisions on the basis of sex alone is not only illegal but imprudent, the survey provides compelling reasons to tip the hiring decision in favor of females when faced with two equal candidates.
