⚖️ Legal Tip Thursday: You do not need to be employed to experience workplace discrimination.

Discrimination can happen before you’re even hired, including in job postings, interviews, and hiring decisions. Being rejected because of your race, religion, pregnancy, disability, or age (40 or older) may violate NY labor laws.
