This memo will cover three different Government Agencies. The first agency being covered is the Department of Commerce (DOC). The next agency this memo will cover is the Department of Labor (DOL). The final agency that will be covered is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The purpose of this memo is to inform the reader about the role of the three previously mentioned agencies in the business world. First I will give an overview of how the DOC relates to the business world.

Everybody deservers to be treated equally at the place they are employed regardless of their differences.9 All of the agencies discussed in this memo play a crucial role in the world of business. Without the DOC our economic growth could become stagnant. If the DOL did not exist the U.S could be just like other poor, low wage countries. Finally, without the EEOC employees could be mistreated in the work place and nothing would ever be done about it. Agencies play a vital role in everyday operation of businesses. Businesses need to follow the rules set in place or face harsh
