Jessica manages a childrens clothing store named Well-Dressed Whipper-Snappers in Columbus, Ohio. The store sells clothing to young children aged birth to 10. She is in need of new staff to deal with the holiday rush. The job involves selling clothes to parents, knowing about childrens products and operating a cash register. She places an ad on a local jobs web site and receives several applications. During interviews in which no inappropriate questions were asked, she learns the following about the applicants:

Katie is a 20 year old college student with no retail experience who wants to work a few hours a week around her busy schedule of sorority events.

Elise, age 43, is eager to leave her part time job at a major retail chain for a job with more hours. She has worked the past 5 years selling tires and usually hates children but says she can tolerate them for the extra money.

Frank is a 52 year old who just moved to Ohio from Arizona. He is single and has never had children of his own. He has not worked for the past few years but before that worked for 10 years as the manager of childrens clothing store of his own in Minnesota.

Francis is 35 and has six children of her own. She needs a job for money to care for her family. Without prompting, she volunteers that she hopes to have a seventh child so she can star on a reality TV show she has designed, called Seventh-Heaven. The show will chronicle her adventures as a wily single parent raising 7 crazy kids.

Carol is 57 years old and is a recovered alcoholic. She has three grandchildren of her own and loves being around kids. She has never worked outside the home. Because of a science-lab accident in college she is forced to wear special dark glasses while in natural sunlight. Because of early arthritis, she cannot sit on any chairs that do not have cushions. She is concerned that the store only has a hard wooden stool for employees.

Jessica is disappointed with the applicant pool. She confides to her assistant manager that she believes that Katie is too young to be reliable and that she would not want to hire her. Jessica thinks Frank is creepy because he is a grown man who wants to work around children. Since the store is next to a restaurant that serves alcohol, she does not think she should hire Carol out of fear she will fall off the wagon. With this in mind, she hires Elise.

Please analyze if you believe any potential discrimination claims exist for any of the workers.

Please state who you would suggest she hire and why.

In this situation, which factors among the applicants should be considered in making the hiring decision?
