This week, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), the agency responsible for enforcing federal employment anti-discrimination and retaliation laws, released its Fiscal Year 2013 Performance Accountability Report (the “Report”). According to the Report, in 2013, the EEOC secured a record-breaking $372 million dollars from private employers for workplace discrimination, despite receiving 6,000 fewer charges of discrimination during FY 2013 (with a total of 93,727 charges) as compared to the prior year, and despite resolving 14,000 fewer cases than in FY 2012. Only 1,437 charges were resolved by conciliation, as compared to 1,591 in the prior year.
