Equal Opportunity Employment Commission

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a U.S. federal agency responsible for enforcing laws that promote fair treatment in the workplace. It protects employees from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, and genetic information. The EEOC investigates complaints, mediates disputes, and can take legal action against employers who violate these laws. Its goal is to ensure that all individuals have equal access to job opportunities and are treated fairly at work, contributing to a more inclusive and equitable workforce.
