I have been asked several times if I am married, have kids, or plan to "get engaged" or "get pregnant." Worse is the judgement I get when I respond that I am not married and have no kids.

I have a degree in Electronic Communications and I am SBCA Certified. I have been doing this work for several years. However, I recently relocated here and my new probation officer told me I cannot do that work any longer, despite no one else having a problem with it and the fact that my job has no relation to the alleged crime I was convicted. What is the labor law that prevents this type of descrimination? I have 4 communication companies wanting me to come work for them.
