A whole raft of laws have been in effect for the last 50 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_discrimination_law_in_the_United_States#History_of_federal_laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_discrimination_law_... There are still a large number of businesses in operation. Plus, look at it from society's point of view. If we have a situation where corporations are profiting but employment opportunities are unfairly distributed, various political groups in a free society will form to try and change the laws until corporations change their behavior. There will be agitation and unrest. If that goes on long enough, we may end up in a situation where the society, the economy, the government deteriorate.
