A new task force to deal with “executive suite” discrimination of Jews here is ready to begin operations, it was learned today. The American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan Boston in conjunction with the Jewish Vocational Service, were responsible for formation of the unit.
The objective of the task force will be to break down “employment bias” by moving Jews into management positions in large companies where relatively few are employed and promoted.
