The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee due to protected classes, including race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information. Each of us belongs to at least one of these protected classes/groups, and these laws apply to all types of work situations, including hiring, firing, promotions, harassment, training, wages, and benefits.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
