It is legal and normal to discriminate on the basis on how much work you do. I think you can even legally discriminate on whether someone is a parent - protected classes are Age, Race, National Origin, Religious Beliefs, Gender, Disability, Pregnancy and Veteran Status.

You are correct, under federal law, and for non-government jobs.

But, states and localities often add protected classes beyond federal requirements. As has the executive branch of the US government for federal jobs.
