On the basis of past experience or statistical evidence, these companies believe that high school graduates perform better than nongraduates, on average.

Problems Arising from Ignorance When Hiring
Ability and wages: Arcidiacono, Bayer, and Hizmo (2008) analyzed data from a national longitudinal survey called NLSY79, which includes data from more than 12,000 men and women in the United States who were in the 14- to 22-year age range in 1979. The researchers reported that ability is related to wages in early career jobs for university graduates but not for high school graduates. In line with this, research has found that racial discrimination with respect to wages is more prevalent against high school graduates than college graduates, because when ability is not the primary reason for determining wages, other factors irrelevant to ability, such as race, play in. The researchers suggest that their findings might explain why, on average, a black person is more likely to earn a college degree than is a white person of the same ability level.
