c. comparison of the current company workforce with the available labor market.

Answer 1

d. hiring of people in underrepresented classes, regardless of qualifications.

Step-by-step explanation:

The affirmative action process demands analysis of the demographics of the current company workforce, survey of the relevant labor market to determine its demographics and comparison of the current company workforce with the available labor market.

However, it is counterproductive to hire people in underrepresented classes, regardless of qualifications.

Answer 2

Answer: D. hiring of people in underrepresented classes, regardless of qualifications.

Explanation: Employment using quota as a criteria and hiring people without regards to qualification just because they are from under represented class, is not an affirmative action and will lead to mediocrity.

Hiring should be based on analysis of demographics of the current company workforce, survey of the relevant labor market and comparison of the current company workforce and workforce available in the labor market.
