Job Discrimination
Federal, state and local governments have enacted various laws and ordinances
that are designed to give protection and equal opportunity to members of society.
Federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, gender, pregnancy,
national origin, religion, disability and age. State and local laws often
prohibit additional types of discrimination, including discrimination on the
basis of marriage, sexual orientation and weight. Federal laws can protect
employees and potential employees from acts of both hiring and
firing discrimination.
