The chapter concludes with a discussion of careers in HRM, ethical considerations, and an outline for the rest of the chapter.
• Federal law requires that employers not discriminate on the basis of a person's race, sex, national origin, or age over 40. Is this also an ethical requirement? A competitive requirement?
