As a worker in the United States, you have a lot more protections and rights than you might be aware of! One of the most important of which are your equal employment opportunity rights. Overseen and enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), these rights ensure you cannot be discriminated against in the workplace for your race, color, sex, age, national origin, disabilities, or religion in the workplace.
Furthermore, your employer cannot retaliate against you in any way for reporting them for any of the above types of discrimination and they cannot discriminate against you in other instances such as if you turn down sexual advances. Luckily for us, the EEOC has been collecting and storing the data on which types of discrimination are filed with their commission the most each year and YourLawyer.com used that information to create one of the most stunning ranked steam graphs we've seen so far this year!
