How does age, marital status, race, or religion impact someone's qualifications for the job?
Those you specify might not, but the list isn’t limited to those. It asks about pregnancy.
And, in the case of a church operated preschool, or a woman’s health clinic, etc., the person’s religion could be important.
I agree, most are not relevant, but I am more concerned with the total takeover of business these days by having government involved in every aspect of the employer/employee relationship.
Age: Hiring for youth modeling
Marital status: For a job that spends 100% of the time on the road, I need to know if he's married and if so will his marriage interfere with his duties.
Race: Hiring an inner-city counselor where they don't trust Whitey.
Religion: Hiring for many positions in a church. Atheists simply aren't qualified by reason of religion.
