A Review of the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) in 2013


One of the best ways that employers can know what liability risks they are most likely to encounter in any given year is to review what an agency was targeting in the previous year and to review the agency’s work plan. I recently reviewed some 2013 statistics from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) that are worth sharing:

To say that the EEOC was busy in 2013 is an understatement. Perhaps the most impressive statistic is this: despite a furlough and hiring freeze due to the sequester, the EEOC still brought in more money in 2013 for aggrieved workers (about $372 million) than in any other year in the agency’s history. So, what are the EEOC’s priorities this year? Check back on Wednesday for some more information about what we can expect from the Commission.
