Examples of Protected Groups in Hiring

Visual representations can illustrate groups that are legally protected from hiring discrimination. For instance, a pregnant woman represents protection against sex-based discrimination. Symbols of different faiths, such as the Christian cross, the Jewish Star of David, and the Islamic crescent, exemplify protection based on religion. An older person using a cane can represent protected characteristics of both age and disability.
