What is the EEOC?
The EEOC (or U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) enforces most of the federal laws which prohibit job discrimination. It is the job of the EEOC to enforce laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on age, disability, race, color, religion, sex or national origin, as well as making sure that men and women receive equal pay for equal work. EEOC also oversees and coordinates the practices and policies regarding federal equal employment opportunities.
