Larry has been a systems analyst at a software company for six years. Although he works hard, gets favorable performance reviews, takes night classes in business management, and has applied for promotions, his coworkers always get the promotions instead. Larry asked his coworkers about this, and one of them said, "Don't you realize? This management will never promote someone like you." This supports Larry's concern that he may be a target of discrimination because he is black; other talented employees are black, but no black employees have moved into management positions. Larry decides to discuss the problem with the human resource manager. If he can't find a satisfactory solution that way, with which federal agency could he file a complaint?

A) Anti-Discrimination Federal Agency
B) Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
C) Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
D) Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures
E) Federal Register

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person's race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. Larry can file a complaint with the EEOC if he feels he has faced discrimination based on his race.
