effective advertising since '48.
This sign, which I pass on my way to work, says, "Girls Work Near Home, Key Personnel." It's clearly been there for decades, and it's strange to see. This sort of sign isn't legal anymore, right? From the EEOC's website-
Job Advertisements
It is illegal for an employer to publish a job advertisement that shows a preference for or discourages someone from applying for a job because of his or her race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
For example, a help-wanted ad that seeks "females" or "recent college graduates" may discourage men and people over 40 from applying and may violate the law.
Hey, look at that. Progress. I'm now going to find clerical advertisements that implicitly target female employees. And then I'm gonna sue everyone.
