of the Literature Review Problem
Florida is a state where most come to retire but the low pay and high costs of living make it hard for retirees and families to thrive in the state. The EEOC has enforced the law and made sure that companies who did not comply be brought to justice. Without any diversity and equity in the workplace, it would make work conditions unbearable.
.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Enforce the Acts that were created to better and protect Americans in the workplace.
Improving diversity include active recruitment of eligible people from diverse backgrounds;
Management should be held accountable for diversifying staff and promoting with equitable pay.
Holding firm on upholding the laws that protect pay for gender and race discrimination in the workplace.
Paying attention to the processes that create barriers to entry and promotion in the public sector.
Being diverse in planning and executing new policies and holding upper management accountable must be made a priority.
Pay that rises with inflation, so that workers can survive.

Today, public and private sector workforces in the United States look very different from decades ago.
In a society where checks and balances barely exist, one would consider themselves safe from the manipulative and unethical practices that are collectively identified within major corrupt systems when it is believed to be under the supervision of a free American government.
Diversity is a valuable tool to overt discrimination in the workplace and sociality.
Laws that do not protect the public sector from low paying jobs and high inflation is not the American way.
