RE: Under the proposal, it would be an unlawful employment practice if a business with 15 or more employees refused to hire a person because of the individuals status as unemployed.

Why did they choose the number 15? What’s the significance of this?
This is the standard employee number that the government decided on when looking at a company and deciding if they must comply with EEOC. And since this is where the unemployment discrimination is trying to fall, I'm pretty sure that's where the got the number from.
They've just guaranteed that no unemployed person will get an interview. These people are idiots.
666 minus three.
Probably because mom & pop shops of 2 or 4 people probably aren't worth suing. It's one thing to target a pocket to pick. It's another thing to make sure there is something in the pocket to pick.
