EEOC Makes State Charge Statistics Available Online

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has created an online database that allows users to access private sector workplace discrimination charge statistics for each U.S. state and territory for fiscal years (FY) 2009-2011. The charge receipt data is broken down by type of discrimination alleged, as well as by the percent of total state and national charges. The EEOC intends to update this database each fiscal year.

In November 2011, the agency released its FY 2011 Performance and Accountability Report (PAR), which included details about the charge statistics filed during that period.
