Why does the EEOC sue?
October 30, 2005 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
The EEOC has released its Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2004, and it is full of all sorts of statistics.
One set of statistics that caught my eye showed what kind of issues were involved in cases in which the EEOC brought law suits. Of course, the EEOC does a lot more than bring suits, but the numbers are interesting:
| Basis for suit | Percent |
|---|---|
| Sex | 52.4% |
| Retaliation | 37.9% |
| Race | 15.3% |
| Disability | 11.8% |
| Age | 11.8% |
| National Origin | 9.7% |
| Religion | 4.2% |
| Equal Pay | 1.3% |
