Employment preferences of personnel representatives in electronics firms regarding job applicants who had varying levels of education were investigated. The applicants had either obtained a 4-year college degree, completed 2 years of college, or completed high school. The stimulus jobs required the equivalent of a high school education but varied in terms of status and gender stereotype. The personnel representatives tended to recommend college-educated applicants for higher status jobs and male stereotypic jobs and applicants who had high school degrees for lower status and female stereotypic jobs. Contrary to the results of most previous research on overeducation, the performance of the applicants who were college graduates was expected to be higher than that of the less educated applicants.
对电子公司人事代表对不同教育水平求职者的就业偏好进行了调查。这些求职者要么获得了四年制大学学位，要么完成了两年大学学业，要么完成了高中学业。刺激性工作要求相当于高中教育水平，但在地位和性别刻板印象方面有所不同。人事代表倾向于推荐受过大学教育的求职者从事地位较高的工作和男性刻板印象的工作，以及推荐高中学历的求职者从事地位较低的工作和女性刻板印象的工作。与以往大多数关于过度教育的研究结果相反，预计大学毕业生求职者的表现会高于受教育程度较低的求职者。
