EEOC DISCRIMINATION AND RETALIATION CLAIMS STATISTICS FOR 2009 RELEASED
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has released its 2009 report of discrimination and retaliation claims filed in 2009. Overall it appears the total number of charges filed dropped slightly, but there was an increase in retaliation claims filed. Race and gender discrimination both still remain the protected category most commonly named in the charges filed. Disability claims also increased as well this year.
