L02 Summary

In this second lesson of our course, we have reviewed some of the most important demographic changes that affected the employment relationship in the United States after World War II. Most of those changes were reflected in and promoted by employment legislation at the federal level (Bell, 2025). The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the federal agency that is in charge of investigating discrimination that violates federal legislation.

This lesson’s assignment is intended to help us understand that, while there has been progress in our society in the past five decades or more, there still remains much to be achieved.
