        %X In this paper, we adapt the audit studies methodology to analyze gender and racial
differences in hiring for a particular segment of the market of three selected occupations in
Metropolitan Lima: salespersons, secretaries and (accounting and administrative) assistants.
The adapted pseudo-audit study methodology allows us to reduce the room for existence of
statistical discrimination. The results suggest the existence of no significant differences in
hiring rates for different gender-race groups but some systematic (and significant) differences
in the aimed wages of the individuals in their job search processes.
