The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has recently released its Annual Report on the Federal Workforce for FY 2008.  This report contains a lot of statistical information about EEO complaints and claims of discrimination against Federal Government Agencies.

Here are some interesting numbers from the Report for FY 2008:

1) Out of 8,036 requests for hearing, only 155 resulted in findings of discrimination by an EEOC Administrative Judge (roughly 2%);

2) Approximately 25.5% of EEO hearings resulted in a settlement in FY 2008;

3) As of FY 2007, only 72% of Federal Agencies have a written anti-harassment policy.  (This means, by implication, that 28% of Federal Government Agencies do not have a written anti-harassment policy)

No post on this website is legal advice, is meant to be legal advice, and certainly does not serve as a substitute for legal advice. Information is power, and we are providing this information to give you, the federal employee, with some power. This information is not widely or easily accessible to Federal Employees.
