Executive order 10925, problems addressed

Executive Order 10925, signed by president John F. Kennedy, addressed the problem of discrimination in the hiring process. More specifically, this act focuses on ensuring that government contracted companies/businesses are giving an equal opportunity for individuals to work for them, regardless of race, color, religion, or national origin. This idea, known as affirmative action, still prevents businesses and companies from discriminating against potential candidates based on any of the aforementioned characteristics.
