Answer:
The correct answer is Executive order 11246.
Explanation:
Executive Order 11246 requires that all employers who have a contract with the Federal Government take affirmative actions to hire and promote women and racial minorities (see 2 CFR, paragraph 339). In the fiscal year of 1993, for example, the United States Government granted more than 176,000 primary contracts worth more than $ 160,000 million. Therefore, the requirements of Executive Order 11246 directly affected more than 17,000 companies and institutions of higher education.
Executive Order 11246 prohibits federal contractors, construction contractors who have federal assistance, or federal subcontractors from discriminating in employment decisions, including compensation, based on race, color, religion, gender or nationality, when the contracts and subcontracts of these entities exceed $ 10,000.
