Many localities have gone beyond federal-level anti-discrimination employment laws. For example, the District of Columbia’s Human Rights Act protects 16 traits, 12 of which apply to employment: race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family responsibilities, political affiliation, disability, matriculation, genetic information, and credit information. Check the anti-discrimination in employment laws in your state.
