Question

Which action would most likely cause the equal employment opportunity commission to intervene?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A.) A company posts an ad looking to hire a male computer programmer.

Indeed, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or EEOC, was created by President John F. Kennedy to suppress discrimination in the workplace and enforce civil rights for all protected categories (age, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). In this particular instance, the protected category would be gender. The employer is posting an illegal add that specifically disqualifies female applicants and thus, the EEOC would immediately intervene upon learning about the violation.
