The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was created with the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The role of the Commission was to ensure equal opportunity in the workforce for women. Historically, men have dominated certain occupations, and the Commission was empowered to help afford more opportunities to women. However, as demonstrated by Census data and job research, men continue to dominate certain occupations.
