NT Lakis attorneys and non-attorney professionals have created an updated series of “benchmarking” tables that now incorporate data from the 2015 EEO-1 filing cycle, the most recent EEO-1 data available. We also have included some demographic highlights from 2015 that we noted in preparing the updated tables.
The updated tables are designed to assist employers in performing national-level, sector-specific compliance and diversity benchmark analyses. The tables contain national-level headcount and participation rate figures for all industries combined, and also for each of the 20 sectors within the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) hierarchy.
The tables were prepared using the data contained in an advance file released recently by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that contains the first available tabulations of 2015 EEO-1 benchmark data by race/ethnicity and gender. Importantly, these are the most current private-sector workforce diversity benchmark statistics broken down by industry, by geography, and by industry and geography.
In addition, please note that subscribers to EEAC’s web-based Data Services offerings can use the 2015 EEO-1 data to generate complete EEO-1 data tables at granular levels, including national, state, and metropolitan statistical area levels and for hundreds of more specific industries, through our “EEO-1 Matrix Generator” and “EEO-1 Snapshot Analyzer” online tools.
