Abstract:
EEOC regulations require State and Local Governments with 100 or more employees to collect and retain in their records demographic information about their employees, and report this information to EEOC biennially in odd-numbered years. EEOC uses this information to evaluate and prioritize charges under the Commission’s charge processing system and to determine the appropriate investigative approaches. The data can be analyzed to develop statistical evidence as the investigation proceeds. EEOC also uses the data to develop ad hoc studies of the public sector work force. The data are shared with the Department of Justice. Pursuant to §709(d) of Title VII, EEO-4 data are also shared with State and Local Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs) for their enforcement efforts. The data are also used by researchers who request it for use in academic studies.
