In a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research as well as the Universities of Chicago and Munich, workers were found to have a wage penalty of TWENTY PERCENT just for having a regional accent. Authored by Jeffrey Grogger, Andreas Steinmayr, and Joachim Winter, the referenced study examines the wage disparity faced by workers with distinctive regional accents in Germany. Using innovative data collection and analysis methods, the researchers found that having a strong regional accent can reduce wages by an amount comparable to the gender wage gap. Additionally, workers with regional accents often sort into occupations with less face-to-face interaction. This research sheds light on the unfortunate economic consequences of linguistic diversity.

The thesis by Laura Cerrato, "Accent Discrimination in the US: A Hindrance to Your Employment and Career Development?" (accessible at https://lnkd.in/den3zn8Z) explores how accent discrimination negatively impacts non-native English speakers' job prospects and career advancement in the U.S. It identifies accent bias as a significant barrier and suggests training and standardized testing as potential solutions. Selected quotes from the introduction include: There are several studies, which have demonstrated that people discriminate against others based on the way they speak. Whether it is based on their native tongue, in which they speak with a varying regional accent than those in their area, or a second language that they use, people will be judged based on it. (Deprez-Sims & Morris, 2010) A person’s perception of another’s accent can influence the way they see the person. The most common situation is where the receiver of the message is distracted by the “noise” caused by the accent of the sender of the message. (Quinn & Petrick, 1993) Accent coaching can help mitigate these challenges by improving communication skills, thereby reducing what was described in this paper as the perceived distraction in interactions. This can enhance job performance, customer understanding, and overall employability, making individuals more competitive in the job market. #successfulexpression #accentcoaching #accentmodification #speakclearly #speakconfidently
