  b. middle-class families, who find it hard to afford college for their children. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has no legal authority to prosecute for discrimination.
  c. working-class families, who are being fired or laid off in disproportionate numbers. Charges of discrimination center on hiring policies, seniority rights, restricted job placement, limited opportunities for advancement.
