Extractions: A SOCIETY IN TRANSITION Shifts in the structure of American society, begun years or even decades earlier, had become apparent by the time the 1980s arrived. The composition of the population and the most important jobs and skills in American society had undergone major changes. The dominance of service jobs in the economy became undeniable. By the mid-1980s, capping a trend under way for more than half a century, three-fourths of all employees worked in the service sector for instance, as retail clerks, office workers, teachers, physicians and other health care professionals, government employees, lawyers, and legal and financial specialists. Service-sector activity benefited from the availability and increased use of the computer. This was the information age, with hardware and software that could aggregate previously unimagined amounts of data about economic and social trends. The federal government had made significant investments in computer technology in the 1950s and 1960s as part of its military and space programs. In the late 1970s, two young California entrepreneurs, working out of a garage, assembled the first widely marketed computer for home use, named it the Apple and ignited a revolution. By the early 1980s, millions of microcomputers had found their way into U.S. businesses and homes, and in 1982, Time magazine dubbed the computer its "Machine of the Year."

Extractions: Skip Navigation Links Partners with Missouri's Workplace Search: Welcome to the Commission on Human Rights Office Locations Missouri Human Rights Act MCHR's Rules and Regulations ... Other Resources The Missouri Commission on Human Rights (MCHR) is the state agency charged with enforcing Chapter 213, RSMo, which is titled the Missouri Human Rights Act. The basic powers and duties of the MCHR are to prevent (through education and outreach) and eliminate (through enforcement) discrimination. Persons who believe that they have been discriminated against because of a factor they can't change can file a complaint on a form provided by the Commission, but these complaints must be "filed" within 180 days of the latest date of discrimination. The MCHR is only authorized to investigate complaints in employment, public accommodations and housing and only if the reason for the alleged discrimination is on account of the that person's protected status of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age (40 - 69) (in employment only) and familial status-families with children under the age of 18 (in housing only). Once a complaint is filed, the MCHR staff will conduct a fact-finding investigation. And thereafter, the Executive Director makes a determination whether there is "probable cause" to believe a violation of the Missouri Human Rights Act has occurred. If there is no probable cause found, meaning the MCHR cannot connect what happened to the person's protected status, the complaint is dismissed and the complainant is notified of his/her right to appeal the decision to circuit court. If the case is found to be probable cause, the complainant and respondent will be asked to consider a formal settlement. If settlement fails, the case may be resolved at a public hearing. (Not all cases that fail settlement will automatically go to a public hearing.) The public hearing determines whether discrimination occurred or not. This decision is made by 3 members of the 11-member commission who serve as a hearing panel.
