[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is illegal to take into account someones family status when hiring.  If you would be upset if you were fired because you were pregnant, for example, and try and hire a nanny who lives alone, you're the worst kind of hypocrite. [/quote]

Family status is not protected.  This is what is covered:

https://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices[/quote]

From your own link, marital status, whether or not you have children, and the number of children you have are absolutely covered.

https://www.eeoc.gov/pre-employment-inquiries-and-marital-status-or-number-children

Refusing to hire someone because they live with a spouse, and/or their children is absolutely discrimination.

Look up the definition of employer highlighted in the same site:

“ If a complaint against a business (or some other private employer) involves race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, disability or genetic information, the business is covered by the laws we enforce if it has 15 or more employees who worked for the employer for at least twenty calendar weeks (in this year or last).”

Thus it does not apply to most household employers here. [/quote]
