In cases for disparate impact the analysis is also subject to the well-known burden-shifting standard, which allows a plaintiff to prove pretext. See Albemarle Paper Co. v. Moody, 422 U.S. 405, 425, 95 S.Ct. 2362, 45 L.Ed.2d 280 (1975) (applying burden-shifting analysis for pretext in a disparate impact case); see also E.E.O.C. v. Steamship Clerks Union, Local 1066, 48 F.3d 594, 602 (1st Cir.1995) (same); Abbott v. Fed. Forge, Inc., 912 F.2d 867, 876 (6th Cir.1990) (considering burden-shifting analysis and pretext in a disparate impact case); Bronze Shields, Inc. v. N.J. Dept. of Civil Serv., 488 F.Supp. 723, 726-27 (D.N.J.1980) (applying burden-shifting analysis and considering a 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(h) defense in a disparate impact claim under Griggs).
