Which agency enforces anti-discrimination laws in hiring and promotion?

• A. EEOC
• B. OSHA
• C. IRS
• D. FTC

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is identifying which agency enforces anti-discrimination laws in hiring and promotion. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) handles this, investigating complaints and enforcing federal rules that prohibit discrimination based on protected characteristics in hiring, promotion, pay, and other employment decisions. It enforces laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, among others, and can file lawsuits to ensure compliance.

The other agencies focus on different areas: OSHA deals with workplace safety and health standards; the IRS handles tax collection and enforcement; the FTC oversees consumer protection and antitrust/market practices.
