Abstract
In this chapter, we summarize the results of an audit study that we conducted in the city of Chicago. Our study examined how race, high school credentials, and academic grades were related to call backs for jobs. We briefly describe the design and results of our study, and then discuss numerous broader issues about audit studies. Our main goal is to help researchers who plan to conduct similar studies in the future by highlighting and reflecting upon challenges, obstacles, and unexplored opportunities in our work. We conclude with several recommendations for future researchers who plan to use an audit design to study labor market stratification.
