The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has released its Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Performance Report (APR), showing that it resolved more than 65,000 discrimination charges and obtained more than $513 million in monetary benefits for discrimination victims last year.
The report also indicates that the EEOC received 73,485 new discrimination charges in FY 2022, an increase of almost 20% from the previous fiscal year, reversing a seven-year downward trend.
The agency focused last year on systemic discrimination, racial justice in the workplace, pay equity, and the use of artificial intelligence in employment decisions, the report said.
The agency also released its Office of General Counsel (OGC) Annual Report for FY 2022.
