In spite of overcoming adversity, segregation and hate, minorities are still discriminated against in the work place. This review looks into how disparate treatment and disparate impact speaks to how the theories assist claims of discrimination from employer to applicant.
Results revealed that there is a screening process that examines the hiring practices and notions of equal employment opportunity without discrimination. On the contrast to disparate impact, disparate treatment prohibits employers from treating
employees or applicants differently because of their membership in a protected class.
This review explores various forms of discrimination towards minorities albeit statistical wage or gender.

It sets the stage for the subsequent chapters by introducing the core issues and concepts under investigation.
Chapter II: Disparate Impact and Disparate Treatment
This chapter delves into the legal concepts of disparate impact and disparate treatment, examining how these theories apply to claims of discrimination in the workplace. It explores how hiring practices and notions of equal employment opportunity are impacted by these concepts. The chapter also discusses the labor market and its effects on minorities.

Keywords
This seminar paper focuses on the key terms and concepts of workforce development, minority retention, disparate impact, disparate treatment, equal employment opportunity, discrimination, and the labor market. It investigates the intersection of these concepts in understanding and addressing employment disparities faced by minorities.
What is the difference between disparate impact and disparate treatment?
Disparate treatment involves intentionally treating employees differently based on protected classes, while disparate impact refers to practices that seem neutral but unfairly disadvantage a specific group.
How does workforce development affect minority retention?
Workforce development programs aim to create equal opportunities and support structures that help improve the long-term retention of minority employees in the workplace.
What is the role of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)?
EEO frameworks provide a screening process to ensure hiring practices are fair and free from discrimination, protecting applicants and employees from bias.
What challenges do minorities face in the labor market according to the study?
Despite progress, minorities still face discrimination in screening processes, wage gaps, and disparate treatment from employers during the recruitment phase.
What is the theoretical framework of this research?
The paper uses a framework that combines legal theories of discrimination with labor market analysis to explore how workforce development can bridge equity gaps.
