The crowding model of occupational discrimination suggests that occupational segregation results in

A) a lower domestic output than would otherwise be the case.
B) higher levels of total employment than would otherwise be the case.
C) higher interest rates in the private sector than would otherwise be the case.
D) a higher rate of inflation than would otherwise be the case.

The crowding model of occupational discrimination suggests that when certain groups are crowded into a limited number of occupations, it leads to inefficiencies such as underutilization of skills and talents across the economy. This can result in a lower domestic output than would otherwise be the case, as not all workers are employed in occupations that make the best use of their abilities.
