The main effect of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 was that it extended the provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to previously exempt employees. This meant that employers could no longer discriminate based on factors such as sex, race, religion, national origin, or color in regard to hiring, firing, promotions, wages, and other employment practices.
