Question

When a job requirement excludes members of a protected class from an employer’s workforce at a substantially higher rate than nonmembers, discrimination occurs.A. TrueB. False

Answer 1

Answer:

True (A)

Explanation:

Protected class  refers to groups of people who are legally protected from being harmed or harassed by laws, practices, and policies that discriminate against them due to a shared characteristic (e.g. race, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation).

A protected group or protected class is a group of people qualified for special protection by a law, policy, or similar authority

The Civil Rights Act in Us prohibits discrimination against job applicants on the basis of shared characteristics as stated above.

Hence, there is an actual discrimination when  job requirements are more favorable to nonmembers than protected members groups.
