Introduction

Everyone should have a fair chance at a job if that person has the qualifications. It is against the law, or illegal, not to get a job because you are a minority worker, or from a smaller group of people. You may not be denied a job because of race, religion, age, sex, or national origin (country of birth). Equal Employment Opportunity means that everyone gets an equal chance at a job.

Discrimination

Job discrimination happens when people are not treated fairly or equally at work. This is also known as prejudice. Job discrimination is also against the law, or illegal. A person cannot be treated differently because of their race, religion, age, sex, or national origin.

Child Labor Laws

There are also Child Labor Laws protecting minors from hazardous situations on the job and limiting the work hours for students and minors. Sometimes state and federal labor laws are different. When this happens, federal laws usually apply. If you have a question about Child Labor Laws, you should contact the Department of Labor.
