In 2016, the EEOC resolved 97,443 employment discrimination charges. It secured more than $482 million for victims of discrimination in private, state and local government, and federal workplaces. This included:

  • $347.9 million for victims of employment discrimination in private sector and state and local government workplaces,
  • $52.2 million for workers harmed by discriminatory practices, and
  • $82 million for federal employees and applicants.

This included 273 resolutions of systemic investigations and 21 resolutions of systemic lawsuits totaling more than $58.3 million in remedies for workers harmed by discriminatory practices and policies.

Through mediations and conciliations, EEOC worked with employers to resolve charges voluntarily. Ninety-seven percent of mediation participants reported that they would mediate future charges with the agency. EEOC also maintained a 44 percent success rate for the past two fiscal years for conciliation of charges after a finding of discrimination.

EEOC offers services for employers that want to be sure their policies comply with applicable law—contact your local office for more information. It could save you a discrimination claim!
