Funding for enforcing EEO laws and affirmative action regulations is identified as a major issue, with inadequate staffing and low priority within the Department of Labor hindering enforcement efforts. Recommendations are made for improving the effectiveness of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance. The document also explores various hypotheses for the income disparities between black and white workers, including labor market discrimination and productivity differences. The need for increased funding for agencies like OFCC to enforce EEO laws and affirmative action requirements is emphasized.
