Unemployed Need Not Apply: Employment Discrimination For The Unemployed

Unbelievably, the United States, known for its many workplace anti-discrimination laws, does not currently have a law banning discrimination against being unemployed. According to a report recently released by the National Employment Law Project (NELP), a Washington, D.C. advocacy group, they found nearly 150 ads from Careerbuilder, Monster, Indeed and Craigslist that openly discriminated against potential candidates, asking them not to apply unless they were currently employed.
