The article begins: “In the 1990s some mathematicians questioned whether affirmative action efforts were skewing the job market in favor of women. With this in mind, twelve years ago we analyzed the 1991–1995 employment data collected by the AMS for possible gender bias in the employment of new Ph.D. mathematicians. In the current article we summarize what has happened in the intervening years.”
A summary of their first analysis appeared in:
