（b）职业介绍所的下述雇佣实践是非法的，包括因为个人的种族、肤色、宗教、性别或者民族而不或者拒绝为其提供雇用机会，或者以其他方式对其加以歧视；或者以个人的种族、肤色、宗教、性别或者民族为基础对个人加以分等，或者为个人提供就业机会。
（c）对于劳工组织来说，下列雇佣实践将是非法的：

（3）促使或者试图促使雇员对个人进行违反本部分的歧视。
（d）如果雇主、劳工组织或者劳工管理联合委员会控制学徒期和其他的培训、再培训计划，包括工作中的培训项目，则其根据个人的种族、肤色、宗教、性别或者民族等因素，在提供学徒期和其他培训的参加工作和雇佣项目中进行对个人的歧视是非法的雇佣实践。
（e）不管本小节的其他规定，（1）如果雇主雇佣雇员，如果职业介绍所对雇员进行分等或者为个人提供雇佣机会，如果劳工组织为其会员资格分等或者为个人提供雇佣分等，如果控制学徒期和其他培训、再培训项目的雇主、劳工组织或者劳工管理联合委员会允许或者雇佣个人参加其组织的项目；即使这些行为都是建立在个人的宗教、性别或者民族等因素基础上，只要这些因素是进行此种特殊交易和商业的真实的职业资格所必须的，则此种雇佣实践不是非法的。（2）如果一所学校、学院、大学、其他教育机构或者学术机构雇佣信仰某一特定宗教的雇员，只要该所学校、学院、大学、其他教育机构或者学术机构在总体上或者从实质部分来讲是由该宗教所拥有、支撑、控制或者管理，或者由某一特定的宗教团体、联合会或者协会拥有、支撑、控制或者管理，或者该所学校、学院、大学、其他教育机构或者学术机构的课程安排是直接针对该特定宗教的研究和普及的，则该种雇佣实践不是非法的。
（f）正如本小节所使用的那样，“非法的雇佣实践”这个词语将不适用于下述情况，即雇主、劳工组织、劳工管理联合委员会或者职业介绍所针对美国共产党成员或者其他由颠覆活动管理委员会根据1950年颠覆远东管理条例[50 U.S.C.781 et seq.]最终确认的共产主义性质的组织成员作出的歧视行动或措施。
