What is the goal of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission?

Answer
A
to certify that everyone is paid what they deserve
B
to inhibit employers from overpayment
C
to prevent discrimination before it occurs
D
to ensure everyone has a job

Explanation

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws that prohibit discrimination in employment. Its work aims to prevent and address discrimination in hiring, pay, promotion, and other workplace decisions. It does not guarantee that everyone receives a particular salary or has a job, so the best choice is “to prevent discrimination before it occurs.”
