Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
An employment agency commits an unlawful employment practice if the employment agency:
(1) fails or refuses to refer for employment or discriminates in any other manner against an individual because of race, color, disability, religion, sex, national origin, or age; or
(2) classifies or refers an individual for employment on the basis of race, color, disability, religion, sex, national origin, or age.
