Job seekers and employees with conservative political beliefs are concerned that their chances of receiving an offer or otherwise advancing in their careers are diminished because of their views, according to a survey conducted by RedBalloon and PublicSquare.

RedBalloon, an anti-woke job platform, and PublicSquare, a marketplace which connects patriotic businesses with customers, revealed that nearly 63% of respondents to their survey believe the discovery of their “Republican” or “conservative” views would negatively impact their career. Some 75% also believe that potential employers are using artificial intelligence to automatically screen resumes that do not fit certain diversity, equity, and inclusion criteria.

“It’s no wonder that worker productivity is near historic lows,” RedBalloon chief executive Andrew Crapuchettes noted in a statement about the survey results. “Companies need to abandon all of this harmful social engineering and return to merit-based workplace culture.”

The respondents were also asked whether they would rather make less money in a merit-driven workplace culture or more money in a diversity-driven workplace culture. Roughly 77% said they would prefer the former scenario, while a mere 3% prefer the latter scenario.

The degree of reported discrimination in job searches caused by diversity, equity, and inclusion varies across the country: while 37% say they have faced such discrimination, that figure rises to 41% for respondents who live in California and falls to 34% for respondents who live in Texas.

Anecdotes from respondents provided to RedBalloon and PublicSquare asserted that employers pay attention to the racial identities of interviewees during the job search process. “I was unemployed for three months and only received calls back if I did not include that I am white,” one respondent said. “Their interest ended the moment they saw me on camera,” another respondent shared.

Proponents of the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement continue to face criticism for defending the notion that members of minority identity groups have inherent barriers to success in leading institutions. One recent analysis claims to have debunked widely referenced research that says diverse workforces are associated with higher corporate profits.
